Is it fractionMan's fault?

Jonathon, what's an "organic techno-cultural community" and what issues are currently affecting them and what solutions are you offering?

A community is a network of actors whose commonality is their dependence on each others' existence. An organic community, is a community constrained by geography and other physical context. A techo-culture is any network of actors who share similar experiences in the use of technology.

Therefore, the biggest issue affecting these communities is how the use of technology is challenging the existence of traditional community structures, as set out in this book in the case of America:

The solution to this problem is people working through co-operatives, something which I hope the Big Society will achieve.

If I might just summarise and paraphrase you:

I'm sure when invited to camp david that stater of the startlingly obvious didn't blame the atomisation of society on capitalism. American social observers often don't.

That's a load of fookin' shite. Mind you, seeing as you've never run a busy, successful bulletin board it's no surprise to see you haven't got a fucking clue about them.

I've also no idea why you're referencing an unrelated book that is nearly a decade old.
