On communal blogging and "free speech"...
"Yes, you own your own words. But you also own the tone that you allow on any blog or forum you control. Part of "owning your own words" is owning the effects of your behavior and the editorial voice you foster...Shock radio hosts encourage abusive callers; a mainstream talk radio show like NPR's Talk of the Nation wouldn't hesitate to cut someone off who started spewing hatred and abuse. Frat parties might encourage drunken lewdness, but a party at a tech conference would not. Setting standards for acceptable behavior in a forum you control is conducive to free speech, not damaging to it."

You're, welcome Amybeth.
Do you think a code of conduct for recruiting blogs is a good idea or even necessary? In business forums like this do you think members should agree to conduct themselves in accordance with a code of conduct as a condition of membership?
