In his comment on our approach to understanding stigma (Elliott, Ziegler, Altman, and Scott, 1982), Bobys presents an interesting and provocative form of stigma: the stigma of excellence. He notes that it may be just as damaging to appear to be superior as it is to be inferior, and several lines of research quoted by Bobys provide evidence that this is indeed the case
