but are they really "neighbours" if we've chosen them? there's a real
difference between "community" & "neighbourhood", that has to do with
choice. "loving thy neighbour" is more of a challenge because (like
family) the thing is that you don't have a choice about who they are ...

everyone - is genuinely welcome or free to move in, potentially
putting the established neighbourhood (aims, agendas, neighbourliness)
at risk . Perhaps that is the thing about online neighbourhoods -- we
select, to the extent we can and because we can, who our neighbours
are. Returning to the fact that "loving thy neighbours" is a lot
easier to do when you know (or chose) who your neighbours are.
Love to all.

Hi Helen,
I specifically wanted to do netbehaviour, as I've been hanging out
here for a while and I'm interested in what it means to be here. It
seems to be my kind of hood in many ways, but as Annie, said, I'm not
really a neighbor, I'm not really in. (Which may be one very
understandable reason why no-one but you has responded).
So, at the moment the call is extended to different [actual and
potential] neighbours as well. When I come to the point of actually
visualising "the" neighbourhood, I'll need to make decisions. Will it
be specifically this one, Or, one made up of those who chose to
respond? Then, what would that mean? [Editing the neighbourhood!
Letting it fail.]
-- but, it's interesting.
All best

hi marianne,
i'm curious about what neighbourhood you are aiming to visualise; in
the email you sent to this list, you specified the netbehaviour
neighbourhood, but on the web site where you're posting the
portraits, you don't mention netbehaviour; it's an open invitation
to anyone who wants to be part of the neighbourhood. in that sense,
the neighbourhood you're visualising will be a new & different one
to the netbehaviour neighbourhood ... the neighbourhood of wherever
your invitation has reached? (altho the netbehviour neighbourhood is
indeed open to anyone who wants to be a part of it).
neighbourhood is a really interesting concept to explore, since it's
changing so much at the moment. we don't choose our neighbours &
even if we don't interact with them a lot they can have a huge
impact on our lives (& us on them ... ).
