To people who replied to my questions that they have never met a DUer

[LynneSin]

What the hell is your hold up!!!

GO - find a gathering or better yet, start one of your own. DU gatherings rock! I've been to gatherings in Philadelphia, DC, New York and Boston and I've metup with DUers in Austin & Wilmington.

And if you can get to or live near Washington DC - then meet us for the September 24th protest in Washington DC. DUers will be there in force letting our voices be heard and afterwards we'll gather together for the local folk dancing!

7. I'm in the Houston area

I finally had lunch with a DUer last week. I never seem to make it to Austin, though.

8. I get to Houston now and then

Whenever I want to do something big-cityish or beachish. Austin is great, but has some limits.

12. No no no, you're not antisocial

You are "asocial" or "nonsocial".

Antisocial is a personality disorder characterized by symptoms such as:

a long-standing pattern of a disregard for other people's rights, often crossing the line and violating those rights. This pattern of behavior has occurred since age 15 (although only adults 18 years or older can be diagnosed with this disorder) and consists by the presence of the majority of these symptoms:

failure to conform to social norms with respect to lawful behaviors as indicated by repeatedly performing acts that are grounds for arrest
deceitfulness, as indicated by repeated lying, use of aliases, or conning others for personal profit or pleasure
impulsivity or failure to plan ahead
irritability and aggressiveness, as indicated by repeated physical fights or assaults
reckless disregard for safety of self or others
consistent irresponsibility, as indicated by repeated failure to sustain consistent work behavior or honor financial obligations
lack of remorse, as indicated by being indifferent to or rationalizing having hurt, mistreated, or stolen from another

You don't want to label yourself as antisocial
:(

11. A few reasons

1) I can't afford to travel
2) I would never want to subject anyone to my area (rural Newfounland = less than fun)
3) I don't know any eastern Canadian DUers.
