Elitist nerd? Yeah, maybe. But just because I'm an elitist doesn't mean I'm not right.
Using their definition, if I said I didn't want to sleep with one of their moms because she looked like Jabba the Hutt, I suppose that would make me an elitist. But me being an elitist still doesn't change the fact that she's slimey space worm.

Elitism: Pride in belonging to a select or favored group.
Nerd: Somebody who passionately pursues intellectual or esoteric knowledge or pastimes rather than engaging in social life.
Now tell me that Counter Strike isn't elitism or nerd oriented. I love people who put labels on other people without knowing what they are talking about.
A heads up: A hobby is not nerd-ism. Pride in participating in a group is not ALWAYS elitism. As far as I know, we have never barred anyone from our games no matter how offensive they might be. However we can take pride in what we accomplish here.
Those that can't do, make up silly insults for others. So when will these people start calling us Nazi's?

*sigh* Maybe I just did not understand that , being from Germany and having to translate everything , well , sometimes the sense of something get´s lost .
Please enlighten me .
A group of people patricipating in a certain activity over a period of several years , openly accepting newcommers into their groups and sharing experiences , ideas and funny moments through various forums/websites/chats/whatevers is a group of elitest nerds .
A group of people participating in a certain activity over a period of several years , insulting newcommers as "noobs" , mangling a language by deliberate misspelling (1337 roXXor) and on a regular basis randomly attacking other interrest groups is ... well , what ? I don´t know . Maybe I´m not elite enough , or I need to take a few more nerd classes , but to me something about the whole picture is wrong .

Not every so-called NAZI was an elitist. I might add many of them were forced into a war they did NOT wish to take part in. Don't make the same mistake of tarring everyone with the same brush! Sometimes there are no good or bad guys, just people trying to survive in bad or impossible situations. Not every Nazi liked or applauded what Hitler ordered done. Good and Bad are not always clear either.
Some people, both then and even now, think Hitler was right. He was a man, sometimes brilliant and other times a totally pathetic person. The key to anything you accomplish is filtered through certain moral guidelines but unfortunately that line keeps moving. Frustrating, isn't it.
Let's face it, many times, in wars we never have our finest moments as members of the human race. However, wars DO solve things if enough people get killed. It seems that it just takes more and more killing to get that point across today.
So when you make insults and look down on what other groups are doing, especially when they are doing nothing to bother you, then guess who the elitist snobs are? The bad thing about pointing a finger at someone else is there are always three more pointing back at you.
Perhaps there is a lesson for the guys who wrote the original message and us as well. If they want to come here and trade ideas, they are welcome to do so. I'll not go to them though and start a flame war. I have better things to do, like trying to keep a leash on Krass's mouth and Eon from turning him into dog crap.
Now I'll put my soapbox away.

Now there´s an idea . We send our most gifted ambassador to send a message of friendship and peace . A man of integrity , a man of intelligence , a man with the ability to see the world from a different perspective .
I wonder if the Great Krass has anything to do at the moment (duck , run , hide)
