...As Agre observed, "[s]o long as we persist in opposing so-called virtual communities to the face-to-face communities of the mythical opposite extreme, we miss the ways in which real communities of practice employ a whole ecology of media as they think together about the matters that concern them" (Agre 1999, p.4)... An online/offline conceptual dichotomy is also counter to the direction taken within recent anthropology, which acknowledges the multiple identities and negotiated roles individuals have within different sociopolitical and cultural contexts... offline social roles and existing cultural ideologies are played out, and sometimes exaggerated, in online communication. (from the Wilson/Peterson paper)
