Is the culture and society of AB just a micro organism of the real world

[ruby27]

If so
Is the recent movement of some of those who appeared to be homed in the traditional site of B and S who have moved into News and here a sign of
a survival necessity such as the movement for those looking for new pastures such as the wildebeest,
a seasonal movement, such as the equinox
a natural movement such as the icecaps
or
Natural migration
Economic migration
Illegal Immigration
If so should there be any measures put into place, should the migration be limited as a potential threat to the intellectually minded of those who post in News and S C. Or should it be welcomed as a possibility of diversity and richness being introduced. Or are the divisions of topics just an artifice as every bit as unhelpful and divisive as borders and nationality?

before they were in B&S they hung around in Suggestions for a while, and before that there was a special swamp called ChatterBank where they used to wallow in the mud and bellow across the water. (It became such a stew of obscenity and abuse, as well as pleasant chat, it was closed, but you can still google it.) Before that, previous Editors used to shoot anyone who tried chatting. Clearly, they are illegal immigrants who are taking jobs away from decent ABers and should be sent back to Poland before they ravage our sons and daughters.

Non Co Terminus Agency Boundaries: It will be up to each partnership to agree internally how it can best tackle the difficulties which would be thrown up by a lack of co terminusity. The goal should be for every partner to configure its output in such a way as to maximise effectiveness without promising the individual agencies wider strategic goals.

Ruby - I nicked this from The Plain English Campaign's website. Did you do the same with your question?

every one of your posts is trying to analyse the ab community in a negative way, you don't have to be apart of it if you don't like it.

Love that Flip lol... makes sense though.
We are all ickle organisms ruby, but we make up the whole.

flip_flop, no I didn't as I have never come accross it before but after this if still on my break I will have a look as I'm sure that it will be interesting - are you inferring that my orginal question was a bit obsure?
Probably becasuse I didn't want to make reference to the war that JtL and JL appeared to be re enacting as I thought it as for effect only

never thought my posts were only about analysing AB - but obviously that is how you see it
For me I find the ways we humans behave infinitely interesting and am always curious if there is consistency or not in how we behave in one context and then in the next. I was surprised that JL seemingly genuine request for info about the floods, led to such as response by JtL. Not something that usually crops up in the slightly more staid News.
Far from disliking the antics of AB I feel I must be some kind of addict given the amount of time on here reading and sometimes getting drawn into the posting. I love the opportunity to get into a heated verbal debate in the knowledge it is only confined to here and can not spill out into the real world.
