I'm associating myself with being pro the same standards of behavior when we're behind a keyboard that we adhere to when we speak in person, on the phone, or write a letter.
The internet is just another form of publication and communication. It's not like we don't have standards for print publications. What is the difference between the internet and a print publication really? An internet post can be printed. A newspaper can go e-edition and not be printed. How is a blog so different from a magazine that it shouldn't abide by the same rules?
All the legislation really does is to put electronic communication in the same category as other types of communications, because electronic communication is speech too.
