I just had a peak at Know Nonsense's C-D profile. He describes himself as an "Independent thinker", lists his occupation as "Hard Work" and his education as "Self Educated"... so I'm thinking that he has some personal issues with those leading a traditional lifestyle, with a serious career, who are formally educated at good universities and who place a high priority on their children also doing well academically. He perceives people like that "snobs" when they just have a different life path than he does.
In the past, those who thought me a snob, where those who didn't place a high value on intellectualism and higher education. Or perhaps because of my tastes in music. Or it was that professional sports didn't interest me. But once they really got to know me, they changed their opinion of me and just realized that our life passions were different. With a little effort and digging deeper, ultimately we all have things in common that we can bond over. Also having a good sense of humour and not taking ourselves too seriously helps greatly.
And Know Nonsense could be considered a snob himself for looking down the people of Bedford and Windham and considering his values and life path superior to theirs. But isn't NH all about having freedom of choice?
