Alan Levine looks at the discussion on blogs as conversation taking place in the Moodle forums and reacts to the misunderstandings he finds among the 'tree people'. He writes, "These "facts" and summaries are astounding, and to echo myself earlier, make me wonder if I am really using the same internet. Frankly the 'control and structure' glasses of the people who live in the tree houses of Forums make them draw some odd conclusions about all the bloggers running in and out of their cave complexes in the valley below. The tree folk have never even seen the inside of a cave, yet they can handily dismiss it."
