Forget the Console wars, what is up with the genre war? Between nerd brethren?

A friend and fellow venter of a problem that needs to be addressed within our nerd subculture. Is this whole genre war between gamers. I use to be a fighting hardcore gamer, I probably would have done more well in school if I spent more time studying homework then I did remembering various game's command lists, on several console controllers. Breath of Fire III that sparked my love into becoming a hardcore RPG gamer, though I played earlier ones the age old final fantasy, chrono trigger, Dragon Warrior, Secret of Mana just to name a few on the Snes, oh and a big shout out to phantasy Star series on Sega. I have my biasm towards other Rpg gamers, though we RPGers don't go around like other genre preference gamers saying "Oh RPG's are the only real games that take skill, and are better blah blah etc." FPS gamers are elitist thinking Halo is like the one ring to rule of the others. Sports gamers are easily convertabile to broaden their horizens from Madden and NBA live, to other games, they can be somewhat elitist but not as much as RTS gamers. OMG PC gamers are so gamerist if I can coin the term to console gamers, and how dare you if you play both. PC gamers are like oh look at meh wit my uber micro, i pwn n00bs and even more so RTS pc gamers think RTS is the whole genre that takes skill. Personally I find RTS boring, right on the same lime of simulation gaming where you spend more time watching the game play itself than anything. Yet these elitist who seem to go around and sow discord and start civil wars saying this genre is better than that and we hardcore *insert genre* gamers are the true gamers and our *insert genre* are the only games that require skill, well tha is just ignorant and though sometimes it can make for healthy debates it is actually just found to be nothing less than GTFO out the subculture if you are going to cause probs kthxbi. We are gamers we should all stand united at least we can come together against fake gamers, or us hardcore types against the ever betraying Wii for kicking us all to the girl and whoring themselves out to scoccer mom and casual gamers, though I personally have nothing against causal gamers, for nintendo to just pull a Julius Caeser and cater 98% of its games to many games that just suck by causal standards even and dont get me started on that damn remote nunchuku. Well elitists this post is telling you to STFU and GTFO because we more tolerable types understand the beauty of all game genre's whether we enjoy playing them or not. We can have our friendly biased views without slinging mud and stepping on toes (RPG gamers Woot Woot!) What do you think is this unfounded or true?
