Looks like maybe you got some downvotes - but not from me. Geek & Nerd can be sensitive labels for the likes of folk who hang out here on HN. I wasn't trying to start a flame-war. But I'm happy to discuss it further. Speaking for myself (and myself only), I'm proud of both labels and more-or-less treat them as interchangeable in regards to usage by the general public. Though, I have my-own thoughts on the differences. I take neither as an insult or fighting-word unless, of course, it's obviously being hurled as one, in which case it's not the word, per-se, it's the antagonist as a whole...
