Daniel, there are clowns. 
As has been said before, by others, "Way to not get the point".

When I speak of social responsibility, I speak of the greater well being of everyone, including yourself... I suppose a better term would be "enlightened social responsibility." Not something arbitrary, as in, "Do this because it is expected of you," as you appear to believe.

In actually participating in the social dynamics of the group, you benefit yourself in small way. And since this is at no real cost to you, and cannot harm you (even potentially) in any way, it would be irrational not to. You do seem to have plenty of time on your hands, after all.

In your dealings with this board, it has become apparent that you have stirred up a great deal of ill will. This ill will is compounded by things like not supplying the necessary information to back up your argument. Behavior like this continues to lower the group's view of you. In essense, you have become very much a joke here.

Now, not supplying requested information to an argument is not too big of a deal on an Internet forum. You *can* act like an ass all you want, with few consequences, but there is always the chance that such behavior will come back to get you, albeit in a small way.

Let me just say that I hope, for your own sake, that you do not behave the way you do on the DN in social arenas that affect you far more than we do.
