oh yes, the cliched 'projecting' line. that's just 'i know you are, but what am i?' using slightly longer words.
Since you find the stereotype to be fitting, then it is also obvious that you conform to it. I know several people here who don't.
Logic, not childish retorts. Can you see the difference?

You implicitly stated you were one. I previously explained where you gave yourself away.
Do you want me to dumb it down for you?
what is telling here is your total over-reaction. lighten up. don't take yourself so seriously. and don't worry if you like nerdish things like correspondence chess and reading Pessoa (and playing d'n'd).

It's a sad fact that some socially inadequate people need coping mechanisms, like thinking socially active people cannot possibly like chess or even be intelligent. Are you one of those?

did you get called 'nerd' a lot in school? that would explain your extreme sensitivity to the issue.
