Some role models aren't as nice...

As those I met at WisCon this weekend.

After googling "Wiscon" in addition to looking at LiveJournal, I find Wil Wheaton has blogged about Elizabeth Bear's postings of stuff she's overheard as WisCon.

And then I found this awesome 2 part story (Part 1, Part 2) of what happened when Wil Wheaton met one of his heroes, William Shatner, on the set of Star Trek V.

Even famous people get to be dicks sometimes I guess, but Shatner could have been much nicer at the outset, especially to a fellow Star Trek actor.

If edited to be under 1000 words, this might be good for Can I Sit With You?

Thanks for the pointer to Wil Wheaton's story. Too bad he was high school-aged at the time and therefore does not intersect with the Can I Sit With You? time/space continuum.
