Tim O'Reilly's "code of conduct" is a "we need more laws" overreaction to the fact that real world making its way into blogland. Yes, as much as there may be a sense in some people that there's a "we" amongst bloggers and "we" need to stay together or some folks still think that bloggers are some kind of an elite: "Blogger" is a mainstream occupation and hobby now. That means: you'll find that some folks are assholes. Get over it. It's not that we hadn't had those along for the ride all the way from the beginning...

So, no, thank you very much.
