I think this is where the difference between online and real-world neighbourhoods and neigbours lie. You can chose your online neighbourhoods by the flick of a switch? Although you can¹t chose who else will be in the neighbourhood, per se, (so loving them all will still be a challenge) declaring your self in or out is much easier. Now, becoming part of¹ the neighbourhood, as community (on or off line), indeed seems to be an entirely different matter that in both worlds depend on to proving yourself, investing, engaging and doing good?
