What does "GEB" stand for?

So far I've encountered that people think rationalists are "smarter" and perhaps "intellectual snobs." I have not come across anyone saying they would disapprove of a rationalist community, but so far have not found anyone that thinks the idea of being around those people would be a good thing. I think the exact quote would be "they would analyze everything I say." or something to that effect.

The intellectual snob bit needs to be weeded out, along with the idea that it's not a welcoming place to discuss ideas.
