Small boars/gated communities are *communities*. Smaller. Different. But communities, at least as they seem to have been envisioned.
A work group/team/department/committee/insert other synonyms here gathering to do their work and to communicate in realtime is NOT the same thing. It's not a smaller version of the community. It's a task group.
There is no conflict in holding individual views on each. They have different structures, different functions, different uses, different contexts.
There's nothing wrong with anyone having the same reaction to both, but that does not mean they are the same thing. Let's be clear about what the two constructs are and are not.
