Not to squelch dissent or limit discussion, but to better the chances of there being a reasonable, purposeful discussion that all parties may benefit from. Have you read the backstory and various rationale for the Code of Conduct? I encourage you to follow the links in Tims article, particularly the links to Katies blog and the comments that were left for her there. Call it an isolated incident, but what was once just found on forums and bulletin boards, with trolls and people with less than civil tongues or ideas, is now becoming more commonplace on the blogosphere.

How does it change a single thing? I think it's pointless.
