You pointed out what appears to be frequently overlooked and that is our inability to control the chaos that is inevitable with groups of people. For those seeking to simply blast a message to "crowds" and influence their desired result, this post points out the flaw in that strategy. People online, offline will never do exactly what you want.</p> Sonia, such a thought provoking post.

I’m wondering how to take your ideas into account when building an internet-based community for our business. I’ve got no problem with chaos or autonomous thought, since the people who use your product on a daily basis often have great development ideas to share, and a little chaos keeps things interesting.

Thanks for the food for thought – I enjoyed your post, and new perspectives are always welcome.

I cannot remember where this comes from but I once read that if you pick up a stick you get both ends of it…you know ugly and beautiful, chaos and elegance, trolls and supporters…
