Unfortunately, we are well past worrying about that, and we need to start removing it.

Because that is pretty much how things go now. We are all just tribes that refuse to mingle with anyone else. Thanks to propaganda designed to feed our already overblown egos, we don't see any reason to mingle with those who will not see our genius, our might, our constant desire not to get told that the delusions we operate under are, in fact, delusions.

Face it... 'community' is dead. It is just 'forums' and 'chatrooms' now.
