Wikipedia is a community. However, I am one that believes that the
dimensions of an online community and its related phenomena exist in a
different state then any country. Perhaps, that seems absurd to some
that look upon computers as a mere object, and it appears appropriate to
include jurisdiction of the any country to any computer within it.
However, there is a correlation between what computer do and what the
human body can do also. The politics on computers may one day create a
rude-awakening to those concerned about their own human ability. In
essence, related to the previous quote about leaders that drag the
people along, a war on computers is a war on people. Computers were
originally just people (see [[computer]]).
Some might get literal about the term "computers."
Don't declare war on vandals... teach, education, provide something of
interest for them to get involved into the community.
