When the gentrifiers come into our streets and neighborhoods and speculate on our rented, leased and owned real estate, we can see our demise coming and we just might have a chance to stop it or slow it down. But when the e-colonizers come into our digital communities or e-estate, we can’t see them. We get spoken for, written about, maybe linked to and referenced, but e-gentrifying is much more subtle, insidious, less clear....

That, in effect, is what we've had for the last several years. The ICR, who are now the board majority, are working to change this, while the CL'ers are defending the status quo. That is what all the yelling and screaming is about....
