I'm sorry, but I really don't believe that geeks are somehow
inherently more
accepting of the different than any other
old shmo. It's just that the
standards are different.
Anyone who listened to a sysadmin talk about his "lusers" or a helpdesk droid tell anecdotes of her callers will lose any illusion that geeks are somehow more tolerant. They're more tolerant towards other geeks. That's about it.
A political party made entirely out of geeks is just as much of a bad idea as a political party which embraces any other group to the exclusion of others.
/me furtively wishes that people would stop thinking that a bad social record and a history of being bullied at school coupled with technical inclinations are something to be proud of.
