So I'm reading Bernard De Koven's "The Well-Played Game" and it's a good book with a lot of useful insights for community-building and moderation.
But there's something about it that makes me think "this was written by a well-meaning male academic in the 1970s", and I think if I could identify what that is then I'd have a better handle on its shortcomings. (And the shortcomings of Christopher Alexander, who has even better insights with some of the same flavour.)
