As a nerd I understand how and why people can be passionate about many things. What I don't understand is when one fanatical nerd group thinks they are better than another fanatical nerd group. Case in point Star Wars fans vs. Star Trek fans. Star Wars fans think that Star Wars is the filet mignon of Science fiction and that Star Trek is a turd sandwich served with a side of fecal fries. Darth Vader pwns Captain Kirk, Obi one crushes spock, and C3po flamboyantly dismisses Captain Picard. News flash nerds those that wear costumes, are of a greasy composition, and live in their parents basements should not be bashing those that wear costumes, are of a greasy composition, and live in their parents basements. Stop nerd on nerd crime.
Someday I have a dream where all intergalactic space based nerd theme show fans can come together and share some awkward costumes and zimas. Star Wars fans with Star Trek fans and Battlestar Gallactica fans etc. Maybe even some will fall in love and have a whole mess of costumed babies who will be ostracized and beaten up by the non costumed chilren of public schools. Until this magnificent dream of nerd unity occurs I will use the force and live long and prosper.

Actually, there IS a place where all fandom type nerds can assemble, squee, cosplay (dress as favorite characters) and anything else they want to do. It's called CONvergence and it's in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area. http://www.convergence-con.org/ will give you more info if you want it. I'm not connected with this convention at all but have met several of their staff and they're great people.
