i vehemently disagree with this perspective; this perspective is rooted in fear of abandonment by the rest of society; now, if ur society is all straight from the sewers of hell... u may feel much better in the mountains by the river; seriously, if one polls a 100 people, many wud wish for such an escape;

Darthcoin, for example, is retreating into his humble abode for the same reason that a city dweller wishes to escape the zombie apocalypse; nonetheless, that man is constantly online, educating and expressing wishes of how things shud be emproved since they have deteriorated;
