The rebirth of civility?

"The rebirth of civility” is an article from "The wall street journal".
This article talks about the revolt against people who are behaving badly.
Tim O'Reilly and Jimmy Wales, two leading citizens of the Web proposed a "Bloggers Code of Conduct". This code refers to those people who posted extremely bad comments about other people on Web sites devoted to social and political commentary.
For example in politics the bad speakers describe their opponents as: morons, idiots, traitors, liars and many other nasty expressions.
Tim O'Reilly and Jimmy Wales stated that we all think about "free speech" but we have forgotten about civility.
With this Bloggers Code of Conduct comes the counterrevolution. Some excerpts: "we take the responsibility for our on words and reserve the right to restrict comments on our blog that do not conform to basic civility standards." We are surrounded now by people who don't even know that they are behaving badly, or who argue that behaving badly is their right.
Psychologists, who studied this phenomenon of Web-based verbal abuse or aggressive public, said that it can be the failure of baby-boomers parents to put norms of behavior for their children.
People who behave badly have simply taken the norms that their elders gave them.
However, there was a battalion of bloggers counterattacked, who said that this is "censorship".
They argue that nobody can tell us how to talk. That's censorship.
I think this was a good idea to make a Code of conduct. Many people in our days do not respect the others and behave badly. Whether or not we agree with someone, at list we should respect his opinion.
On the other hand, the Internet must remain open for everybody and should not be censured. So, there is a permanent fight between censure and free-speech. No one owns the Internet; it is a free space for everyone.
