who says you have to live in complete isolation to stop participating?

dictionary and common sense.

you have an internet connection. you are paying for it, or someone else on your behalf. you are eating food and probably paying for it too. you have not quit a society.

Lacks specificity, but the general sentiment is understood

i wasn't the person who replied to your first post.

The sentiment might have been somewhat clear, but the language indicated a misunderstanding of how much reliance there is upon society, which is what was called out (again, not by me).

You asked a question, i answered with my opinion also i look fabulous in my pointdexter pants, i even have the matching pocket protector.
