In an online community (I have built a few) you can
either welcome support from those - like me - who have decided to put
any time at all into what you started. Or, you can turn us off.
I have written about online communities, human dynamics, and believe that my stance on this and that is not enough; I elicit ideas, I take suggestions, and adapt, improve. It will be interesting to see what happens in the vibrant, rapidly-growing group that Kickin' is - when the leadership makes flip decisions based on their personal policies, rather than what is right for the group.
