I should have added to the title as follows ~ no need for etiquette rules. I agree with you that 'self regulation and governance is the big advantage the web has over the everyday world of work and institutions'. Writing online can be liberating and enjoyable and if there were external rules it would take away some of that enjoyment. Thanks for the comment, cheers, John. Hi Graham,

You are right there. I should have added to the title as follows ~ no need for etiquette rules.

I agree with you that ’self regulation and governance is the big advantage the web has over the everyday world of work and institutions’. Writing online can be liberating and enjoyable and if there were external rules it would take away some of that enjoyment.

Thanks for the comment, cheers, John.

Self regulation and governance is the big advantage the web has over the everyday world of work and institutions. Keep it free and open - all online tools can be subverted to the user's desire so all this attempt to control what is essentially uncontrollable could be better redirected into more productive avenues.
