12/10/2003 Entry: "... And Wil Wheaton responds!"

You might have thought I was kidding about asking Wil Wheaton, a famous blogger, for advice about Trinity7. Wil's been through a lot, and often the best place to get advice is not from someone above it all, but who's been there. Don't ask a consultant for answers, ask the men in the trenches. So I asked him if he edited HIS comments (and his blog gets a lot). His answer was like from a good tarot reader:

There is a world of difference between someone who doesn't agree with you, and
someone who is an asshole. My best friend and I rarely agree on anything, but
he's not an asshole, and I try not to be one either.

Keep in mind, also, that people project on you how they feel about themselves.
happy people tend to compliment, while unhappy people tend to attack. At the
end of it all, it's got very little to do with *you* or *me*.

Does that help you?

Wil

Yes, Wil, it did. Thank you for setting my head on straight.

uhm... no. He's not a nice boy. Not really.

You might think of him as not an asshole, but once you get to know the guy a little more than an email or two, you start to see right through it.

He's the most inconsiderate, dishonest person I've ever had the displeasure of mixing with. Unfortunately. I know I was extremely disappointed.

Asshole may be a little strong. Schmuck, might be more accurate.

Whoa -- he's ressurrected my crush on him. (yes, I, a 12-year-old-girl (I think?) when ST:NG premiered, was the reason why they decided to have the character around - studio execs wanted more chicks and a younger crowd.) But I lost my crush on him back when either I was mean to him or he was mean to me back in the GEnie days. Seriously.

Oh, and I like the "right to reserve..." notice. Nice touch.

That Wesley Crusher is such a nice boy...
