I think that tells you pretty much everything you need to know. Sure, let’s ignore the work I’ve done for STARFLEET over the years:
- Getting them a contract with a STAR TREK licensee (which they blew).
- Putting out the Communique.
- Building the largest chapter in the organization.
- Working with others to send out over 2,000 STAR TREK books to troops serving overseas.
- Hosting a big pile of chapter websites and volunteering to help anyone that asked at every step along the way.
- Promoted STARFLEET at all of my convention guest appearances.
Yes, I had the unbelievable audacity to run for office in this organization. Twice. I lost both times. People didn’t like my ideas, and that’s okay. I kept trying to sell them, no one wanted them. I eventually asked a few of my friends about it, and we built a STAR TREK fan club that’s twice the size of STARFLEET — And STARFLEET leadership is convinced that what I really want to do is run for Commander, STARFLEET again.
That’s… that’s just so STARFLEET.
Of course, they didn’t say this sort of thing to me. They said it where they thought I couldn’t see it. They were wrong. Just like the people that started anonymous attack sites during the election — I know exactly who you are. At least one of you had the decency to apologize.
Anyway, that’s STARFLEET leadership. If they don’t like the guy asking the questions, they’d rather make fun of him than ask better questions. They’d rather erase his work and pretend it never happened. This is your heads-up — It could happen to you.
