The word Community has multiple definitions and is usually what the
people living in it want. A community can be a commune or a
dictatorship of the meritocrit. Its rules do not have to be democratic
or even open to outsiders (or insiders who are not 'blessed') And a
community does not mean that anyone who 'moves in' are automatically
part of the community.
And each person coming to an online community will bring whatever of
the above views of how a community works .. which is why a lot of
people grump, flame, and disagree violently about why XYZ community
initiative is not a community.
