Blogger’s code of conduct II
Posted in Blog by Twenty Major on April 10th, 2007
Damien has some responses but the cretins have already gone and made some kind of a draft. Honestly, do these people have nothing better to do?
As I posted in the comments on Damien’s site:
Well, wait till the Bloggers Code of Conduct is challenged by somebody who writes the Code of Conduct for Bloggers and they’re further confronted by somebody who writes the Code of Blogging Conduct.
They’ll be like your many and varied forms of Christianity each with their leader, each believing theirs is the one true path to righteousness.
Wait till the Islam of blogging starts. Then people will be flying planes into each others blogs and beheading rival bloggers and it’ll be all their fault because some people got a bit precious about nasty words on the internet.
This is a good read and while death threats are not nice and I can understand people being upset and worried by them the hysterical overreaction to what happened to Kathy Sierra wouldn’t be out of place on something like Oprah or Ricky Lake.
Fucking grow up you cunts.
Who in their right mind would want to know the code to a con’s duct? Bloody outrageous. Something should be done about it. I want a code against a code of con’s ducts.

OI 20. I hope you’re not blaspheming against the Holy Code?
Mark my words, I have an army of suicide codites ready and willing to shag their 70 virgins senseless. They only need you to give them the opportunity.

Saw this at Damien’s. People who want something like this already moderate their blogs anyway, so why the need for a daft code of conduct? People who don’t want it will just fucking ignore it. Either way, it’s completely irrelevant.

It’s like the People’s Front of Judea vs The Judean People’s Front!
Except even nerdier than quoting Python.

Nothing is nerdier than quoting Python. ‘Cept maybe quoting Buffy.

O’reilly really want’s to own that whole Web 2.0 thing?
- First coin a phrase about what everybody is doing and say you own it.
- Second start some code for good measure
- Third sue every one that doesn’t accept the code
- Fourth make sure everybody that used a dirty word on the internet ever will not be allowed on the internet anymore
- Fifth make sure you get your government with some extra justice measures to jail everybody that breaks that still breaks that code.
And there we have it! The USA way of freedom! The whole world would have to obey them.
it’s not for nothing this http://www.synthstuff.com/mt/archives/orly.jpg was meant for O’reilly. Fucking cunts. That’s what they are.

Humph! Fukin’ Judean People’s Front - splitters!
Who does O’Reilly thinks he is anyway? The Messiah? Well, he’s not - he’s just a very naughty boy.

It’s such utter toss. Unpleasant as it undoubtedly was, I’m far from convinced that what Sierra understood to be death threats could be construed as such.
In our organic beastly world of blogging, don’t we already have the power to stop contributing, commenting, and subscribing - if we have a problem with a site? Is there a greater power than to just stop reading?
Among all the definitions of what a blog is, if a blog isn’t read - who gives a toss?

Disagree Eolai. That’s like saying you could turn the TV off if you didn’t want to watch a certain programme. Or not vote if you didn’t want some eejit elected,or not join the army if you didn’t want to go to war.
Head sticking in the sand doesn’t work. We need to address the issues head on

Which issue would this be now? That some people are arseholes and some people are not? Kathy Sierra can moderate her comments, ignore the trolls and just carry on blogging.
I get called all sorts of names from time to time, especially when I call dudes who ‘hate wyminns and think feminazis should quit ruinin’ families’ stupid fucks. I also get the odd comment about how ‘Hanging with the queers is sinful.’
So what? Who gives a shit what they say?
Do you think a dude who offers to ‘ass fuck a two year old and toss her off a bridge’ is going to go, ‘Oh there’s a code? I did not know that. Sorry about the ass fucking remark’ ?
Fuck trolls and equally fuck folk that want a sanitised let’s all be friends and be sweet to each other blog world.
Now, I’m going over to abuse Maroon.

I think the idea is to create an uncomfortable situation for somebody.

Sierra write’s an IT blog. IT! Nerds! It’s not like some retarted redneck with a gunrack on his pickup truck reading her blog. He wouldn’t understand half of it.
But it’s those squeeky little geeks that don’t like woman in their world of computers and shite so they hide their ass behind some proxy, find some stuff about her and post it.(Showing how geeky they are at finding a social security number of somebody).
Their ultimate goal in killing is either in world of worcraft, or getting your domain kicked of the DHCP-server…

Really, aw shit. Now wonder he’s all, ‘That the best you’ve got?’ Damn him and his sneaky ways.

Oh no! Am I going to have to stop talking about my fanny and my husband’s testicles???

Sid,
moderating isn’t sticking your head in the sand. Neither is deciding that the gobshites aren’t worth your attention so to carry on blogging.
The point is that weren’t any issues to address; what occurred was an unremarkable cliched storm in a tea-cup that the world of blogging is already perfectly capable of dealing with through common sense without the need for creating a code of conduct - which would just be a wankfest anyway.
Choosing to apply common sense is not sticking your head in the sand.

Eolai,
Choosing to apply common sense is all very well for common people. But it is the uncommon amongst us that need codes. Where would Da Vinci have got to if it wasn’t for his code? And what would have happened to all those people in Belthcley Park if it hadn’t been for the Enigma code - they’d be running round the park like looneys digging holes in lawns and all the sort.

Feebee, no I hope not! Conor O’Neill’s nads won him an award this year. Would they if we all had sheriff badges on our blogs. Funnily enough on O’Reilly’s post Kathy Sierra said the idea was stupid and would do nothing to prevent the carry on that happened to her.

code of conduct? don’t make me fucking laugh.

Yeah, I had an experience with a particularly vile commentor. Fixed that with a little comment moderation!

I’m tempted to start a blog just so I can violate every one of the terms of the Bloggers Code of Conduct.
Does it not occur to these idiots that the people who are willing to sign up to a code of conduct are precisely the … fuck, they’re stupid.

Dunno. This wrestling with pigs looks interesting.

Kathy Sierra, isn’t she still alive?

Hey, Twenty. Just curious about your comment on Damien’s page about me. Not - I’ll fuckin kill ya - curious but, y’know, curious. Could ya fill me in - as the actress said to the bishop.

A little dig at your mate ‘The Villan’, Captain.

Another example of cuntism in the extreme.
That’s the fucking point of the internet you fucking morons. Anyone can use it. Anyone can say whatever they like.
The only reasons they don’t like naughty words are:
1.) they don’t like naughty words;
2.) they don’t like other people using naughty words (and having a blog that is more popular than theirs - which are dull as fuck as all they do is talk about Python/how cool it is to work for Google/buffy/their shite boring life going to “webinars” or some bollocks.)
I like your site, this is the type of shit I’d be writing on my site if I didn’t perpetually get accused of being a twat by everyone who reads it - i.e. the type of people who want to make this code…
