It's all too easy to be threatened and I hold my hand up as one of those who can be just such a one so this post is a challenge to me. Thank goodness for your levelheaded view of people. Perhaps you will challenge more of us to feel less threatened in our faith and be far more bold in our approach.Masked Rabbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11258913798868136384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20341825.post-282062149552816622007-04-13T18:40:00.000+00:002007-04-13T18:40:00.000+00:00Hi Nick, just popping in to say that, once again, ...Hi Nick, just popping in to say that, once again, taking the time to read your blog is always a blessing to me.

I think some of the people who are backing the code are "futurists". They are looking into the future and seeing what will happen if we <I>don't</I> find a way to regulate ourselves.<BR/><BR/>The fear is of course, that if bloggers on't find a way of keeping themselves in check, some government, political group or legal body will find a way to happily step in and do it for us. "Bye bye freedom of speech".<BR/><BR/>Of course the other theory... by the skeptics, is that by attaining this badge through subscription, may become like an "award". A bit like the Michelin star, Egon Ronay, Investors in People or even the British Kite Mark. Essentially, their fear is that it will lead to an elite society of blogs... and to be honest, some of the more powerful blogs in existence... do already have that kind of leaning.... they do carry with them a self righteous superior attitude.<BR/><BR/>Who'd have thought the class war would have an online namesake?Nick Paynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05330676077919368541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20341825.post-65101475217595416882007-04-11T12:55:00.000+00:002007-04-11T12:55:00.000+00:00Hi Nick - I read that report yesterday with some i...Hi Nick - I read that report yesterday with some interest. It raises some perfectly valid questions.. though considering the size of the blogging community and the reality that it's sprawled out to all corners of the globe, any kind of legislation could prove unworkable - driving sleazy bloggers underground.<BR/><BR/>As for "self regulation" I can't help but imagine only the decent writers out there would choose to take part.. maybe. I hope I'm wrong.<BR/><BR/>- my 2p :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
