Trekkers 55

They heard "Trekkie" being used as a perjorative. They didn't like being mocked.

Their response?

"I'm not a Trekkie. I'm a Trekker. Trekkie equals freak. Trekker equals fan."

They turned away from others like themselves (but moreso) to join the mocking mainstream that will always chuckle snidely anyway.

Me?

I'm a Trekkie.

Beam me up!

Rastaman,

Let's hope so -- from everything I've ever read, he was a great guy.

G-man,

I always knew you were cool.

Lulda,

If by "follow" you also mean "explore," then I couldn't agree more!

Strumpet,

Yes, as long as they don't film me for one of those documentaries!

Love to all,

Devotee
