I wonder how many women are DDoS'ing you... You are destroying their image as normal, fun and smart colleagues. Now everyone is gonna "watch out" when they meet a woman, "keep their mouth shut" and many other things that alienate said woman. Guess she won't be getting invites to unofficial team-buildings, either. Good job.

No, but as the readers of a site called 'Hacker' News we're bound to be called "creepy nerds" every now and again.

OT: My solution to the "creepy" part - fly the freak flag high! By utilizing a direct brain-to-mouth connection, people know exactly what I am, what I'm thinking, what excites me and why (e.g. implications on humanity for some technology). Of course, some people will be uncomfortable with some of stuff I say, but that's their problem, and most people are surprisingly understanding :)
