Tony Long, Wired’s Copy Chief: The Blogosphere, Where a Tawdry Culture Goes to Die

The Blogosphere, Where a Tawdry Culture Goes to Die:

Before you can expect a bunch of utterly spoiled, self-indulgent bloggers (i.e. the kind who indulge in their online mudslinging) to practice civility, you might try restoring a bit of it to what passes for civilization these days. Civility is all about self-restraint. It’s not about being told by someone else to say “no,” but finding the inner resolve to say it to yourself. Call it self-discipline. Call it having a little class. Whatever name you give it, it’s almost completely absent from modern society.
