Well, for what it's worth, I wasn't trying to be snide. If the problem was solved, it really would be egalitarian bliss. I really don't know how this could be taken as "dickery".
My response to your proposed solution, if you're interested, is that it's unworkable. I actually skipped most of it my first time through, because the first thing you said about it was "First, get the other kids to realize why nerd things are cool" with no explanation as to how this could possibly be done. Convince me that you can dictate what is cool and what is not on a large scale, and then I'll give some weight to your plan.
See, even now, my talking about this comes off as confrontational, to no effect. I still think it was better for the original conversation to leave it out.
> You've stood out to me as one of the people who's most deliberately ignoring the things that I'm saying
Have I ignored something else that annoys you?
> By that standard I'm blaming the nerds for deliberately setting up a situation wherein they're persecuted, when they could easily avoid the entire situation by not being so deliberately hostile. Does that work?
Sure. The way it's written, it seems like you are referring to all nerds, but I will assume that this is not the case.
Anyway, apology accepted.
