<p>[QUOTE="KDD, post: 4110137, member: 110611"]This stuff makes me very upset, so it is probably best to stay clear of opening this can of worms on this forum. I will just say I think equating unsocial with antisocial (for those who do, including the authors who contribute to Wikipedia) is in my opinion moronic. Antisocial is socially disruptive. It is being loud and obnoxious in a social setting, it is forming gangs and being antagonistic to social ideals and cooperation, it is not social withdrawal or inhibition: such people are not antogonising, they're just keeping to themselves and allowing you to go about doing your thing. I use unsocial to refer to such people. I understand to social people they may seem the same as they don't contribute 'anything good to society' (besides invention, scientific discoveries, etc) but they're in reality polar opposites and there is no way that word can encompass both groups of people except to simple minded people. So I always use unsocial and antisocial to refer to the two groups.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
