Long before the trash blogs descended upon, Jimmy, together with Tim O'Reilly, proposed a modular "Code of Conduct" for bloggers.
http://blogging.wikia.com/wiki/Blogger%27s_Code_of_Conduct
If you're a blogger: In support for him, but also to build a healthier, friendlier blogosphere, I would like to invite you to adopt the modules of this code that you agree with, and to state so on your blog. :-)
Is this in relation to the Marsden problem, that this is coming up now, or the Tilley suicide/AdScam controversy? The main pillars look good to me, but you'd need to send them out to the commercial blogs and get them to agree before significant changes can be made to the "blogosphere." Do you know if Tim or Jimmy have publicized it to those folks?

The idea has been around for a while in various forms eg:

In practice we have to accept two things:
We share an internet with the inhabitants of 4chan and worse
There is nothing you can do about this.

The site deserves some kind of award for the boundlessness of its optimism.
