*agrees, mostly*

The flipside, of course, is that there are some 'geeky' people who disparage non-geeky brains for not 'getting' things or for not engaging their brains as much. I use my brain on full power for my (geeky) job, and when I'm not working it does not like to still be under lots of pressure. So it's all well and good to say it's OK not to use it, but it's still not OK for geek-brains to treat others like second-class citizens...

Sure. (Although I have a feeling that one person's "treating me like a second-class citizen" can easily be another's "just wanting to spend time with people with the same leisure interests" and that it's inconveniently easy to read the former into behaviour intended as the latter, or to communicate the former by mistake for the latter.)

*nods* I think the kickback of geek discrimination against non-geek is growing.
