Rodney wasn't anti-social. Rodney had never been anti-social. He blamed this rumor on all the stupid people that he went out of his way to ignore due to, obviously, their stupidity. Alright, so that just maybe included, oh, say, most of Atlantis. Still, he wasn't anti-social. Honestly, he has no idea why people would believe that. He eats in the cafeteria, doesn't he?

And perhaps he isn't the most social butterfly the Pegasus galaxy has ever seen; does it matter? Ronon isn't either, but he's not being accused of being an anti-socialist. It's just people who don't like him spreading rumors. Wait, no, that can't be right. John's also said that Rodney is anti-social, and he knows that John doesn't dislike him. Why the hell else would the man risk his own life to save Rodney's? Never mind the fact that it's his job and that Rodney is the smartest person at Atlantis and is therefore quite needed.

Rodney just wasn't anti-social, no matter what the rumors said and how many people may actually believe them. You know he's not anti-social, right? He's just much too preoccupied with saving the lives of everyone on Atlantis to talk to them. He has work to do, and he'll be damned if he puts it off to make others happy. They should just be glad he saves their pathetic lives.

Unless they were saying he was anti-social as in he was rude. Ridiculous! He wasn't rude. Alright, so he was always frank and upfront with people, but hey, that's a good trait! And maybe he isn't always quite positive how to act around people - a crying Miko, for example, or a scared expedition member - but he does try. He's actually rather refrained from saying his full thoughts on people, and haven't they noticed?

Well, Rodney doesn't care what people say, because he knows he's not anti-social. He believes it, too, but why wouldn't he? He's really not anti-social. That's just not him. Really. And he's not going to go up to someone and ask them what they think to verify what he already knows, because people are stupid and he doesn't need them, and he already knows he isn't anti-social.

"...John, you don't think I'm anti-social, do you?"
