Explanation of terms - Evolution of Communities

Some may be confused by the phrase 'Evolution of Communities', as for
example used on this page

Microsoft Responds to the Evolution of Communities
http://www.microsoft.com/communities...s/default.mspx

so this is worth an explanation.

At first glance this appears to be simply a poorly constructed English
phrase, pitifully lacking in any sound bite quality, but no ... look a
little deeper ...


Evolution (=Darwinism)
of
Communities (=Social)


Ok so, translating from the Orwellian Newspeak, we arrive at 'Social
Darwinism'. So Microsoft is actually responding to Social Darwinism, which
now makes sense.


This is the philosophy that helped inspire the great evils of the 20th
Century; Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Mao Tse Tung etc in their mass
exterminations of undesirables, and so would appear to be a useful
philosophy in helping to inspire a planned razing of newsgroups to the
ground.

I hope this helps to make things clearer, as we watch events unfold.
