Calling it a "hive" and city dwellers a "tribe" has strong negative connotations you cannot be unaware of. Be open-minded when calling for openmindedness.

- anamax 16y agoThere's nothing negative about "tribe". As far as "hive" goes, it's apt. It's accurate and the connotations point out the other side of the claimed advantages. > Be open-minded when calling for openmindedness. I'm not calling for openmindedness. I'm pointing out cherry-picking, and a couple of other problems. I don't care where other people choose to live. However, if they're going to argue that their choice is superior, I think that it's fair to see if their argument makes sense. What part of that do you disagree with? Which reminds me - I'm certain that I'll see you make the same complaints when an urbanist commits my sins, right?
