The author obviously feels humiliated by the show. What annoyed me about this post is how much time the author spends on pointing out how "cruel" TBBT is treating him and his fellow nerds. At one point I even got angry how sensitive he is. People make fun of geeks, get over it. I am under the impression that he wrote himself in some kind of rage and lost track of realism after a while.

TBBT is not supposed to defend geeks / nerds it's supposed to make the majority of people laugh and it succeeds.

His points are valid but his sentiment is over the top.
