Sure enough, in comes this email from Tim O’Reilly:

Dear FSJ,
Big fan of your blog and think your [sic] truly funny most of the time. But you’re missing the point on the blogger code of conduct. Nobody is forced to abide by the code. It is a simple idea. Bloggers who follow the guidelines will get an icon identifying themselves as following certain principles. It’s not at all about censorship or restricting speech. It’s about preventing people we care about from being hurt. That’s all. We’d love it, in fact, if you would join up. Your blog is pretty influential and you could do the world a lot of good. This would, however, mean you’d have to take down those copyrighted photos you just put up. And not make fun of women. (No great loss, Jobso, because those items really weren’t that funny anyway.) So think about. Join the movement. For now, though, we’re going to have to put your blog on our “black list” and pressure Technorati, Google and others to block your site. We will also be putting pressure on Wired to cancel its sponsorship. Okay? Nothing personal. But we’re serious about being fair and keeping the Internet safe. Namaste.

If you’d like to read more about Tim’s “code” and see the little sheriff’s badge (I’m not kidding) that he proposes to put on blogs that play ball with him, go here. I think he’s soliciting feedback. Olga? Mike? Dick? Amanda? You guys paying attention?
