[Air-l] naturally occurring conflicts?

My doctoral study was an in-depth analysis of patterns of conflict online,
including observations of five settings over a period of many years, surveys
with over 100 participants, content analysis of 5,000 messages, and
quantitative analysis of over 1.5 million messages. I'm looking for a book
publisher, but the dissertation itself is in PDF format through at least one
of the online sites selling dissertations.

But I don't know what you intend to mean by "naturally occurring". Is
flaming somehow unnatural? Do you instead mean something about
lower-intensity conflicts? Or possibly about a broader range of forms of
handling conflicts? If the latter, see Donald Black's "Elementary Forms of
Conflict Management".
