Topics which turn you into an obnoxious elitist

I'm not sure this thread was entirely necessary.

I like you Dave, but this? I don't think anyone was being an "elitist" in the other thread. The word is being used improperly for one, and two it's reinforcing the idea that having standards is snobbish; also a fallacy.

A snob might say that they only watch a certain directors films, and that is all. A snob might forego the regular seating because only Imax will do.
A snob can't wear anything BUT Fendi or Prada, but definitely not Marc Jacobs. That's a snob. they deal only in extremes, and if it's not the ultimate best of the best, it sucks.

We're hardly acting snobbish, at all.
