M.O.B. Votes:

are participating on this very board daily, spreading their beliefs. While the argument was framed in a way to make those sound hypocritical (but really just exposed the ignorance to non-participation) it really sheds light on that which you seem to ignore.

Non-participation is absolutely the opposite of "doing nothing".
