[Air-l] naturally occurring conflicts?

[Rhiannon Bury]

Hi

I have looked at conflict and its resolution in the context of a private 
women-only mailing list.  This is covered in Chapter 4 of my book. 
Reference as follows:

Bury, R. (2005) Cyberspaces of their own: Female fandoms online. New 
York: Peter Lang

Hope this is helpful
