I am going to quote Shakespeare from his play Othello (my favourite):

"Reputation is an idle and most false imposition, oft got without merit and lost without deserving. You have lost no reputation unless you repute yourself as such a loser."

I love that because the jocks don't deserve their almighty reps, and the nerds don't deserve their worthless reps. We are all humans, and that should be the rep we get.
