Just as a side note - they had an update on the story, but I thought I'd pass it along to bolster my point.
When I was a kid, I had a close group of friends who accepted me for liking what I did because they liked the same things too. Oddly, even as a kid I had no love for Star Trek and it was Star Wars all the way, despite "peer pressure" from my friends. I never felt bullied for liking geek things. We were merely misfits. I got worse for being Jewish.
