Over the summer, I had an internship that took up all my time and left none for editing Wikipedia. I eventually signed back in to add the retired template to my user pages. Back at school now, I still check wikipedia, but generally avoid editing so I don't get sucked back in. I can be reached for whatever reason on my talk page, but please understand if I don't respond.

Edit warring is worse, though, because it can go on indefinitely and can get you banned.

Others who refuse to do so will answer for it eventually.
Building consensus is the Wikipedia way of resolving disputes, as continued discussion brings new possibilities and positive solutions to light. Think "What if we..."
