Tone of article
Hey, just wanted to give you a heads up on some of the content. Be careful of the tone, as some of it comes across as original research, which isn't allowed on Wikipedia. The problem is that you have to be able to back this up with reliable sources that not only show the notability of the subject but also back up the claims you're making. Statements such as "In each instance DBR describes an individual who fails to contribute to society or himself in any meaningful, positive way." would need to be verified, as someone could argue that you might have a DBR that might hold down a job that benefits others, yet goes home and beats his girlfriend- meaning that they could argue that he does contribute to society in some format, albeit small. Or you could have a person who has a great job, volunteers at a local charity, yet sleeps around to the point where he or she has given their partner an incurable STI. Saying that all DBRs make no positive contributions to society is a bit of a blanket statement that we need to avoid making. Even if you have a quote somewhere, you absolutely must verify the credentials of the person saying it to ensure that they'd be seen as a reliable source and even then, you must emphasize that this is a quote and not a fact.
