We are all nerds because...
We are talking about computer games on the net. (Nerdy.)
We are all playing D&D games (Nerdy.)
And some of us manage fifty posts a day *Looks at Caelthis Dragonsbane and Cloudbringer*

Does anyone share my opinion?

I hope not!

No, not really. I do all this stuff yet I was never considered a nerd by others.

Not to mention the only books we read are Fantasy and the occasional SF.

Are you trying to insult everyone?

I don't really care if someone calls me nerdy (noy including my sister) just as long as it's not said in an insulting tone of voice. If it was said in an insulting way, I just ask if they prefer broken thumbs or kneecaps and one minute before I choose for them.

I think D&D as a stand-alone concept could be labelled dorky, but I prefer to see it as just another hobby. I enjoy reading, writing, drawing, sports, and many other things, including D&D. I admit that it's something I do on the quiet, as I realize it's quite a taboo, socially. However, when all's said and done, I'm a dreamer and escapist, and I wouldn't enjoy life as much if I didn't have that little extra world to flee to. I don't think that makes me a nerd [img]smile.gif[/img]

I'd also like to add that I've never been called a nerd before in my life and that I have a life outside fantasy games, as do most other people. I like to work on my car, I catch up with mates and cruise the city, I enjoy a good surf, I like parties and night clubs...

I think what you're saying is a little stereotypical, saying people who enjoy fantasy are nerds.
