An insightful blog post by Tim O'Reilly, in response to the criticism he has received by proposing a Blogger's Code of Conduct, which was triggered by the abusive use of blogs in the Kathy Sierra incident.

These are important issues, which are well covered in this post, including great comments by many of the blogoshpere's best thinkers.
