Or should I say; do we need someone like Tim O’Reilly to impose a code of conduct on us?
If it is a code of conduct, why doesn’t it speaks more about human relationship, how to behave so not to offend the other, and why does it speak so much about identifying those comments who should be prohibited/erased, and mark people that posts such comments?
This isn’t a code of conduct! It’s an excuse for opinion control.
And what about anonymacy? Anonymacy is great! It’s the fual that feed the internauts into venturing beyond the stablishment. Ultimately is not a real anonymacy, on the contrary, it’s the freedom of the self beyond the social self, hidden behind a name, a family name, a race, a religion, a social security number, a credit card, etc. The individual free to be and express the way he wants. Don’t mess with our “anonymacy”. Don’t mess with our freedom of speech.
O’Reilly, please RTFRFC (Read The Fascinating RFC): RFC 1855 Netiquette
Why insist on reinventing the wheel with all geometrical forms possible? The one rounded-shaped works just fine.
