I think the consensus opinion might not always be the best result but it's the one that results in the least conflict. I personally would agree that many times a decision might not be the best result but I do think it is what is realistic within a community. Though in this case I do have some disagreements with Chip on his ideas for social media against the community. Thanks this is an interesting discussion; I might revisit my second article and include our discussion. Cheers for the words of praise for the elephant article. Happy New Year!

A community often does police itself... and usually pretty well. I only worry when we overestimate the ability of a community to make the right decision. History leaves us many examples of grave mistakes made by consensus. Thanks for the link to your article. It's good and I enjoyed it. Merry Christmas! Indeed.

The whole debate has been interesting. I was reading a Boston Globe article today on copyright issues, and how several scholars are suggesting that many professions don't need tougher copyright legal protection because a community will police itself. The article gives the example of magicians, and comics. I thought that was interesting. Chip might be right on a number of things, but sometimes the community determines what is right and wrong. I wrote a post about the elephant story a while ago. Unrelated, but I thought you might be interested. http://www.newcommreview.com/?p=164 Thanks so much for the mention.
