A thought: Otherkind are not a community

[arethinn]

Interconnected though they might be and although they were now communicating and aware of each other in new ways, they began to realize that to truly be a town they had to build it together. Communication by itself was not sufficient for community. A level of mutual participation, caring, and co-creativity was also required. For the town was more than just a collection of houses and neighborhoods; it was a collaborative creation, a shared consciousness and identity.

This, I think, is at least some part of why otherkind are not "a community". Perhaps we once were, but I think it's not been that way for quite some time now.
