People are always going to abuse a situation, but those who don't shouldn't have to adhere to some strict set of regulations just because of the tiny minority. Nice post. It’s all common sense.

Rules of any kind can open the door for more rule proposals, censorship, taxation, etc The Internet is what it is because it's so open, otherwise it would just be a larger AOL. Definitely agree.

I was going to post a death threat here in your comments, but since it's against the "Code of Conduct", I guess I'll need to behave.

And in a worst case scenario, having a badge may actually make people think they're immune to bad behavior and act badly, thinking their badge immunes them from criticism. Interesting point.

While some may see the blogosphere and the behavior of its participants as a new phenomenon, it isn't difficult to find an appropriate predecessor model. That model is found on the streets of any metropolitan area and it is called traffic and the prevalence of road rudeness...or in its extreme...road rage. Granted, personal attacks and snark on the internet are not likely to lead to fatalities, but if computers had wheels, it certainly would. The problem on the highway or the internet isn't going to be resolved through a badge system. Did anyone attend Easter mass yesterday and witness the value of symbols...no not the crucifix behind the altar or the statue at the entrance; I'm talking about the pretty new Easter outfits...complete with bonnets and bow ties. These are the outfits worn by the same people who also attend Christmas mass every year without fail...and then get into their shiny clean vehicle and race out of the parking lot without ever yielding to the old woman walking to her car that is parked in the back row because she forgot that it was Easter Sunday and foolishly arrived at the same time she does each and every Sunday.
