XOX for the win!
I agree it doesn't belong here, but I don't get how it's cyberbullying or anything close to it. Unless you think calling someone 'nerdy' is a grave insult around here, which I also don't really think is the case.
My sincerest apologies to whomever this offended, it was absolutely not my intention!
"I'm a total a nerd and have been all my life I've been on HN for over 2yrs and I can honestly say there's nowhere else on the entire internet where people make comments that even come close to how nerdy yours does!"
That being said it still isn't that funny and it doesn't really add anything to the conversation, but likely wouldn't have offended anyone either.
EDIT: forget to mention kudos for apologizing and not whining about downvotes like most people seem to now.
But you're right, "That is the nerdiest thing I have ever heard in my life" would probably have been better. And yet, still not constructive in any way. At least this little altercation is constructive, at least for my attitude!
GP2X = open-source handheld gaming platform from a few years back.
EDSAC = one of the first programmable computers ever made, upon which the very first video game was programmed: XOX, a game of naughts and crosses. (This fact was referred to culturally in the movie "Wargames"..)
Having an EDSAC in my pocket was definitely a Nerd moment, and you are forgiven. It is extremely Nerdy.
Now: Want to Play a Game (of XOX)? ;)
