> The fierce nerds are a small but interesting group.

If by interesting you mean "humorless bellend", then yes, I agree wholeheartedly.



Only the boring ones are humorless. I actually think most decent satirists would match up to the fierce nerd persona pretty well. Voltaire comes to mind.


I would dearly love to find one that does come even close to voltaire.

At the moment we are crammed full of Thomas Paines without the social or washing skills.


Hah! You sure you aren't going after Voltaire's mantle yourself?


I'd need to be much better read for that :)
