The insecurity is strong with this one. You're projecting that the person's literary references are "name dropping things in largely irrelevant contexts". There is no basis for this assumption, other than your obvious bias to jump to the conclusion that this person is elitist and goes out of their way to seem elitist. Why? Are you sensitive that you didn't get into a school like MIT? Neither did I, but nothing he is saying comes across as even remotely elitist to me.
You're really just coming across as a jerk.

I wasn't talking about literary references. > and goes out of their way to seem elitist. The goal of someone who is elitist isn't really to come across as elitist, dude... > Are you sensitive that you didn't get into a school like MIT? I got into the school that I applied for. No, you haven't heard of it; no, it isn't prestigious. See, this is the thing with elitism. It is easy to dismiss people that are put off by it as jealousy. If I am put off by someone who thinks he is hot shit for listening to Mozart, it's not because I have anything against classical music or people who listen to classical music. It is because I don't like people who thinks they are special for listening to <thing>.
