1: I feel completely comfortable excluding obnoxious people, and when challanged happily tell them why to their face. But I'm an evil bastard. This is one of those areas where lacking a conscience is a help.
2: I believe critism is a complement. My taking the time to disagree etc. shows that I care enough about you and what you say to respond. There are polite ways of doing this and rude ways of doing this. There is a big difference between liking someone for who they are and agreeing with every single thing they do or say. I lose patience with GSF2 carriers quickly.
3: The the GSF3 carriers, I say, "Grow up. This isn't grade school.
4: I admit, I like exposing my friends to each other, after all, they are cool and interesting enough to be my friends, but if they don't like each other no big deal.
5: GSF5 really annoys me. Sometimes it's fun if everyone comes; sometimes small groups are better. Sometimes you want some alone time with one or two people. Skyemage and I having date night is not an implied snub to anybody.
So the question is, do I count as a YFYP asshole? or am I just lacking geek social tendancies?
I've got geek interests and had a rather extreme geeky childhood, so I count, but I learned my social habits in the outside world and did just fine in "normal" society. I managed to simultaneously have the geek ostracism experience and the extremely popular teen experience simultenously starting when I was fifteen. I guess this makes me bi-cultural.
