The 'geek' stereotype. Harsh and unfair.
What is a 'geek' anyway?

I would probably describe a geek as being the sort of person who feels the need to send out a call to arms each time something Tolkien is featured in a poll. Who feels threatened that LOTR could be bested. Who feels it necessary to call all Tolkien fans to arms to ensure it does not happen. Who in fact urges multiple voting to completely erase any chance of failure.
But if people feel that LOTR losing any such poll would impinge on their life and therefore such actions are necessary then so be it. What a pity people don’t feel equally motivated about things that really matter though.
