Thanks for the feedback.

> You're projecting that the person's literary references are "name dropping things in largely irrelevant contexts".

I wasn't talking about literary references.

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>.
