Golden Rule of Blogging

Let's refer to the "Bloggy Golden Rule" coined by Teresa Valdez-Klein.

“If you wouldn’t want it written about you, don’t write it about someone else. If you wouldn’t approve it in your comments section, don’t write it in someone else’s.”

Seems to me this would also apply to message boards/forums.

I challenge all bloggers to make this a "bloggy golden rule" to live and blog by.
