RE: Which Type Of Community Are We?
I suppose if enough people with similar individual attributes come togerther as an online community, then certain shared themes will permiate the social structure.
Deciding for example not to allow a greed focussed discussion to propogate on Gridcoin would be the example of this. As soon as someone on Gridcoin starts trolling about profitability a host of others will drown that dissent with examples of altruistic science; those users are deciding what kind of community they want and make it real through their actions.
Very true, I suppose community self regulation also comes in the form of 'peer pressure' as well so it can work both ways ..

Also most peole like to feel part of a community and will post opinions they feel most others will find acceptable, if not valuable. There are always ikonoclasts who want to challenge, of course.
