The insular instinct in communities is something we need to reckon with. Today, a well-meaning person in my community got eviscerated on Facebook for not knowing local folklore.
Meanwhile, one extended community working to give people the freedom to communicate attacked another extended community working to give people the freedom to communicate.
The danger posed by community in-fighting isn't that one side or the other will win – it's that we'll all lose, by losing sight of the real goals.
