Damien has a good summary of the response around the place, and it is refreshing to see that there aren’t so many people kitting out in their camouflage and sheriff’s badge just yet. I particularly like this guy’s response.

It is through the things we agree on that we can find the strength to disagree constructively. At least that's how I learn, I look for things that I can agree on, and then build from there.

I definitely agree that everyone should read O'Reilly's draft and the NEW YORK TIMES article about it. After that I get self-aggrandizing and point to my own efforts in text analysis to express opposition to O'Reilly's whole approach: http://therehearsalstudio.blogspot.com/2007/04/on-blogger-code-of-conduct.html Mind you, this still has the seeds of where I depart from JP's position. I still believe that we should look for guidance from governance; and he is still big on Identity (big enough to rate a capital letter). However, both of us seem to care more about the integrity of the social world than O'Reilly does; and that may be the biggest fly in the ointment of any code-of-conduct solution.
