"bogosphere" is deliberate.

Thanks for the comment, Tish -- that's a good point. And Joey, that's a great badge :-)

As for the "bogosphere," Juha, knowing Seth I'm not even sure that was a slip. Bogosphere pretty much sums it up, I think.

Ohhh... Seth just coined "the bogosphere" up there.

This badge pretty much sums up my feelings about Tim O'Reilly's badges:

Matt...

Last year at SXSW Interactive, myself and fellow blogges Jimmy Bice, Grace Davis, Nancy White and Bill Anderson were part of a panel on civility in the blogosphere.....

The only people who showed up were some folks who ran message boards who wanted to share what happened to them and how they dealt with it or if we could help them....

Where was Tim O'Reilly then??

O'Reilly's efforts smack of a certain amount of hypocracy. Now that something's happened to someone he knows, the incivility's a big deal. Before, he couldn't even give it the time of day.

I was sickened by some of the things that were said about Kathy. Yet even she admits in the comments to O'Reilly's post that any kind of policy isn't going to change things....

And, you're right. It's about policing your own space, creating your own community. It's also part of the rest of the blogosphere to point out when other communities have stepped over the line. But it is NOT the provice of Tim O'Reilly to start setting policies for the entire blogosphere.

Good one, Jim.

And Alec, thanks for pointing that out -- I think the one I had was the Rosetta Stone. My bad. I blame Google's image search. :-)

I love the Code of Hammurabi! I think you got the picture wrong though... Hammurabi's stone is black...

The bogosphere is not a "Wild West". It is a collection of petty little medieval fiefdoms.

It's so dumb, I'm thinking of using my www.meamdumb.com domain I own to make counter badges to it to honor it.

You're right.
