Robojack,
I'm surprised that you say "most of us" when talking about not uploading. I'm part of two different invite only communities and both of them have very little trouble with people keeping their share ratios high. Most of the people I click on have well over a 2:1 share ratio and the torrents I can pick from are almost all well seeded. With the rare torrent that I find that goes dead all I have to do is make a request and I find a handfull of people re-seeding within the day.
So... if you're selfish or lazy then please don't drag other people down with you as a form of justifying your own behaviour. It's the fact that people share that makes the torrent communities rock and your attitude only reinforces the invitation only system in my eyes.

Gullible isn't in the dictionary.
