Comment on A Relevant Tale: How Google Killed Inktomiparent

The word "egghead" is rather demeaning, perhaps we can refrain from using high-school insults here?

If black people can call themselves niggers and not be insulted, can geeks call themselves eggheads and not be insulted? Not that I condone black people calling themselves niggers, but if anyone can, they can. So why not geeks and the word egghead? Heck, even geek was a high school derogatory word.
