RE: De-Centralised Governments: Will This Work?
No rules that are set in stone. Social rules do exist and if you do anything to anger people that often has negative effects

Speaking as someone who works in customer service, I can tell you, people ignore social rules often and enthusiastically. Common decency, politeness, understanding, all things that people readily abandon if they think they can get away with it.
I work in customer service as well. The reason they brake the social rules is because they see you as a worker, not a person. That was how the upper classes acted in the past and it slowly trickled down, even though no money ever did.
don't think of what they do, think of why they do something.
Good answer !!
How are the social rules determined? Who decides on the negative effects, who executes when something needs to be executed? Where has this been proven with safety to the individual and living together in peace and harmony?
How social rules are always determined. The negative effects are usually decided by the collective town/group you are in.

I usually use this as a reference to places it has worked peacefully. There are many example from throughout history.
I'll certainly will read the link you provide. Essentially you oppose the technology implementation of a de-centralised government, but go back to local communities who decide together how they will live together, correct?
The communities don't have to be local, often they can span what would have before been considered a country.
Understood indeed, but at least geographically members will be located in group(s) without other groups with other social rules and norms mixing in.
That is partially true. Many groups that are close together often intermingle. Boarders are a creation of the state and people would otherwise travel freely. The internet will also allow people to interconnect and share their ideals.
Many different subgroups in a single anarchist region have existed, but they have always gotten along peacefully enough so that different norms are not a problem. Think about how much interaction people from different areas have online today.
I agree with the fact people with different ideas can love together, but it becomes an issue when ideas are to far apart. But I understand where you are coming from. Thank you for your comments AND link!
