socially inept has nothing to do with this.
I was talking about elitist and arrogant coders; not people that have problems socializing.
i'm starting to see what you meant by "It's very easy to take one converstation out of context" with your posts
and there's no reason to "learn from" elitist/arrogant coders. There's plenty of nice/friendly great coders around that are willing to share their knowledge.
and in my experience, the friendlier guys are usually better coders (which makes sense if you think about it).

Eccentricity is often associated with genius, giftedness, or creativity. The individual's eccentric behavior is perceived to be the outward expression of his or her unique intelligence or creative impulse. In this vein, the eccentric's habits are incomprehensible not because they are illogical or the result of madness, but because they stem from a mind so original that it cannot be conformed to societal norms.
