Blogging Tory Raphael Alexander goes for snark and misses the target badly:
We ask that members of Progressive Bloggers conduct themselves in a respectful manner.
Hear, hear! I commend this decree. Let's start with bloggers who tell the mothers of dead soldiers to fornicate with their grief.
Wow, Raph, that's really clever ... except I'm not a member of PB, and haven't been one for at least a couple of years.
Reality: 1; Raphael: 0.
AFTERSNARK: It's thoroughly entertaining to watch Canada's whingers and their delightfully malleable principles:
Whingers: "Those leftards are a bunch of uncivil, shrieking, deranged, vulgar, out-of-control moonbats!"
Progressives: "We'd like to have some rules to guarantee civil and polite discussion."
Whingers: "Those leftards are a bunch of censoring, anti-free-speech, hypocritical control freaks!"
It seems like there's just no pleasing some people. Stupid people least of all.

They are bringing in a code of conduct over there that is likely to result in a mass exodus. I'm pretty sure I'll be among those leaving.
Oh don't be so melodramatic. I'm sure we'll work out a reasonable compromise.
Let's hope so. I'm seeing the discussion dominated already by a couple of genuine moonbats.
Let's see if RA has the integrity to correct his post.

Hahahahaha. They're branding everyone left of Ann Coulter to be out of control lefttard moonbats....and we are the ones being melodramatic.
Right. Whatever.
"We ask that members of Progressive Bloggers conduct themselves in a respectful manner."
Respect. What a loaded word! The meaning is so subjective as to be practically unworkable in any group. A polite nod in passing may be viewed as respectful and friendly by one person, but can be taken as a dire insult to someone who thinks he deserves a larger measure of acknowledgement.
Be interesting to see how this plays out.
