I just happened to decide to rectify that grave error on my part, by reading this here article on which I’m commenting (imagine that). It’s with great pleasure, and an equal amount of gusto, that I say this article rocked. I too, read the manifesto of sorts that Mr. Oswalt took it upon himself to release to the world, and I very much side with you. His take on the whole nerd situation is a xenophobic one at best, and is a symptom of an overall larger cancer that infects the geek community: selfish exclusivity. Sure, it’s great to feel like you’re a part of something special and unique, but isn’t it an even better feeling to initiate a dear friend to this treasure you’ve discovered; or simply finding out that someone you assumed to have nothing in common with, is also a huge fan of something you thought was obscure? It’s the selfish attitudes of uber nerds and geeks, that make them come off as unapproachable pricks, and have turned the non geek world against us. But anyways, I’m getting a bit too soap box-y. To sum it up, you’ve written a fine and friendly retort to Patton, and I for one, am honored to be sided with Team J.J. You have my lightsaber, and my mythril sheild, sir.

Proud of you being a GEEK. Is e a GEEKETTE? Love you.
