I've pasted links below to two national bloggers commenting on the newly proposed Bloggers Code of Conduct that has been discussed here all week.

This is not for the faint of heart. If you are on the left side of the aisle you’ll love this stuff. If you are a Rush Limgaugh fan you might not.

But you may all agree with the sentiment at the very least. I certainly do.

Here's a sample from Driftglass to get your attention:

Blogging is in the end about Words -- those powerful, impotent little framing hammers that cannot drive a single nail into a single plank but can make or unmake a nation -- as Art. And in the world of Art, whether you are aiming for High, Low, Commercial, Political or Other, there are only two questions that obtain: What was the objective of the artist, and how well does he or she deliver on his or her original vision?

Now of course the world if full of language molesters and incompetent artists. Anyone can take a handful of the subjects, predicates, nouns and conjunctions as are found on page 81 of “Huckleberry Finn” and slaughter them. Anyone can take the language of Shakespeare and torture and dumb it into an unreadable mess.
