I'm not really upset about what happened to me; I'm not...I'm not trying to open up a can of worms here because I don't think there are any easy answers. But certainly, today, the differences in the way we community build on the internet and the differences in the ways we handle asses in our communities, was obvious to me in a way it isn't always. And I think it told me something about the role authority assumes in mediating acceptability, and also how we create authority and mediate acceptability in more anarchic set-ups.
Anyway. Just made me think.
