Oddly, I think I may have had the reactions you dislike for reasons opposite the concerns you express. At Baitcons, I don't expect to see much of you; you're working, and it's rude of me to bother you with idle conversation. As a member of the community, the best thing I can do for you is wash dishes and try to stay out of the way and not bug you. But cooking or no, it won't be the same without you there.
