I'm posting this here first hoping that /prog/rammers are the most mature of the textboard audiences. Please take time to read it till the end. It will make a lot of things click, and will make life start to seem way less gloomy.

I've always hated the nerds that act like nerds, the elitist holier-and-smarter-than-thou faggots (not that I don't fit in the description so far too, but I don't show it) that bitch and whine on how miserable they are. Genuine hate, not trying-to-fit hate. Maybe that helped me to not be pestered.
It's human nature not to like unpleasant people, and you're right about that. No matter how intelligent one is, no matter how much the masses suck, there's no need to be a visibly elitist, bitching asshole. And there's no need to be that attention-whoring, stereotypical "nerd" that acts as dorky as it could get and kills people's respect for intelligence. I agree that the latter breed lacks intelligence (they're more dorks than nerds), but not necessarily the former. (Not that I'm defending them.) Even your last point was partly addressed in the questions page. Here's the link again in case you didn't read it. It's a short one:
