[Guest c4evap]

I am a TREKKER.

 

...what the hell is a trekkie?

 

c4 :p

[piepie]

Ok. None of those questions apply to me. Does this mean I'll be banned?

[Weyoun]

No, but you will be pitied...

Or, maybe its me that should be. Nah.

[piepie]

you know the difference between "Live long and prosper" and "Nanu, nanu"

 

Ah, that one I can say Yes to. I'm saved!

[Soulreaper]

Wtf. ? :p

 

I'm a Trekker I suppose, most certainly NOT a Trekkie

[TetsuoShima]

I just did some searching and it seems a trekkie is someone who sees everything in relation to StarTrek and really is addicted to it. A trekker is just a plain fan, who likes watching but doesn't mind that much if he misses an episode.

 

With these statements in mind, I think I qualify as neither. I'm somewhere in between. But I do like hiking, so I guess that qualifies me as a trekker than eh,.. :rolleyes:

[starscream]

you have a matter/anti-matter converter in your bathroom

 

no...no...no....it's in the basement

 

:D

[vystral]

you answer your cellular flip-phone "Kirk here"

omg!!! yes i do!!!!

 

you already know the name of every episode of season one of Star Trek: Voyager

yes. why? is that a problem?

[Yammichi]

shamefully I feel a trekkie is someone who makes it so that us trekkers get teased and ridiculed and have to spend 2 years locked in a closet hopeing all your problems will dissapear only to find out that trekkies have gone even one step farther by haveing star trek themed weddings........and so you fall to your hands and knees and blindly scream KHAAAAAAAAAAN..............KHAAAAAAAAAN................KHAAAAAAAN........................ Mind you a betazoid wedding could have it's appeal................... :P

[BP66]

Ah, the Trekkie vs. Trekker wars.

I look at it this way. I was into Trek when Trek wasn't cool, back in grade school in the early seventies. They all called us Trekkies as a derision. But to me Trekkie is a badge of honor for those of us who stuck to it from the original series years. I consider Trekkers those who joined in after the movies and next generation. That's not meant to be a snub, some of the later Trek enthusiasts simply weren't around for the early years.

But anyway,

Trekkie 'til I die.

Nope. So sorry....I was around for the very first ST ep (TOS) and I call myself (and always have) a TREKKER. Trekkie is derogatory...always has been...like grouppie.

 

EDIT: I have nothing against people who refer to themselves as Trekkies.

Well, I used to consider myselg to be a trekie but then I was introduced to the wonderful world of Dr. Who (this was about 20 years ago) I have been on temporary hiatus from trek ever since. But I plan on rejoining the ranks one of these days. Until then I guess I'll just have to be a trekovian.

[rcazant]

I think a can explain the mix-up between Trekkie and Trekker.

 

In the Netherlands people who like Star Trek are called Trekkie's

I'm not sure if the person who started this topic also is Dutch like me, but the usage of the word Trekkie is common here.

 

So it would seem that Americans use Trekker, but that word has a completely different meaning in the Netherlands and can not be applied.

[xyon]

Just watch Trekkies 2.

 

It has a guy talk about Gene Roddenbery at a convention, he said "trekkie" and someone in the audience shouted back "trekker".

 

Roddenbery then shouts back "no its trekkie, I should know, I invented it".

 

End of argument. (Not that I care, I say trekkie and the only people who annoy me are the ones who want to fight over trekkie and trekker).

 

(By the way, I can do all but about 5 on that list :p)

[ghostwolf357]

I Guess I'm just a Trekker, tough i have collected every ship and toy ship that they have put out in the last ten years. Kind of miffs my boy that he can't play with daddys toys....Son you will to know some day. :rolleyes:

[vja150870]

I was born a one, and I'll die one.

 

Who gives a stuff about labels, anyway. Isn't that part of the Trek message? B)

you make a good point, ST is about embraceing diversity, why should we bicker about trekkies and trekkers, we all love the shows.........

Were we fighting? I didn't see any fighting...

In Dutch Trekker means, someone who masturbates a lot.

But if you insist :rolleyes:
