on community

[gurdonark]

This notion of interaction and LJ "community" has now moved me from mere navel staring introspection to my much preferred role of simple amusement.

I now imagine starting the "Introspection" community. Open to all, all are free to post to it. Only one rule: all posts must be made
"private". No public posts, no friends posts.
But it'll be a "real" community, because we'll all know everybody posts there. We just won't know what they post.

Imagine: no flame, no discussion, no insensitivity, no grammar police.

The perfect community. We could even have a theme song, by John Cage.

second rule: must be a nihilist

I'm pretty universalist about this--nihilists, zen monks, desert fathers, the painfully shy, the shyly painful, basically anyone who needs to rant, but has too much or not enough voice.
