Absolutely! If a person does not have the same rights, like the right to vote, then he or she is not equal to other citizens who have that right. That's exactly the point of suffrage. No quilt for you! (thanks for the correction) Does being barred from voting make a person a lesser member of that community?… Absolutely!

Does that make them any less members of the commmunity? I think not. Also, unless you're making me a quilt or a nice pair of socks, you're nit picking, not KNIT picking.

I'm not so sure the entire internet is a community unbound by geography. It nearly is but places like China definitely hinder that, the people of China are excluded from certain important aspects of the community because of geography. Also, who knows how much this community will be changed in terms of the second part (not bound to any one website) by all the net neutrality stuff. I don't. I guess I'm just saying I agree and disagree and am also afraid that the communal landscape you are talking about might be receding into the distance.

I have to admit that previously I wasn't too keen on commenting on other blogs, instead I would link to the different blog posts and comment within my own blog. However, I'm slowly doing that as well as commenting on other blogs. Guess trackbacks and comments work hand-in-hand in linkability and thus, online communities. Rgds, Isaak Hi,
