RikerChick 5 Posted February 12, 2004 Trekkie, but I don't mind being called a trekker. I use trekkie, but either is fine. I'm a star trek fan, the wording doesn't matter to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Jean-Luc Picard 1 Posted February 12, 2004 (edited) Trekkie only! - Trekker sounds too much like trucker. Edited February 12, 2004 by Captain Jean-Luc Picard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr.Picard 12 Posted February 12, 2004 I refer to myself as a "trekkie" because it sounds cute. But I don't mind being called a "trekker". It doesn't bother me. Both terms are okay. Mrs. Captain Picard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tench745 0 Posted February 13, 2004 (edited) I prefer Trekker, Trekkie seems to have a negative connotation to it. I, however, don't mind being called a trekkie. At least not by friends or those who don't know better. Edited February 13, 2004 by Tench745 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WEAREBORG4102 0 Posted February 14, 2004 I personally prefer to be called a trekkie although its kind of ok to be called a trekker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
He Who Shall Not Be Named 2 Posted February 14, 2004 I say "Trekkie, but I don't mind being called Trekker". At least most people know what a Trekkie is. Trekker you have to stop and explain it to people - and the fact that you care about the definition would indicate you're a Trekkie anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BakulaBabe 2 Posted February 14, 2004 Trekker only! Trekkie is just too "cute". The last time someone said "oh, you're a Trekkie", she smiled at me as if I was a little girl and it was just the cutest thing she had ever heard- and I'm 50!!! :) B) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Phaserman 0 Posted February 14, 2004 Having seen the Movie "Trekkies", I would not like to be associated with that term. partially because of the negative view that Movie shows Star Trek fans in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tench745 0 Posted February 14, 2004 My point exactly, It's not that I mind being called a Trekkie, It's just that it makes everyone think you're a complete freak. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Star Trek Fan 0 Posted February 15, 2004 i said trekkie, but i dont really care that much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ussvaliant_co 0 Posted February 16, 2004 Trekker for 2 reasons. 1.) Trekkie has a pretty negative stereotype with it that is nearly Impossible to toss. The Movie Trekkies didn't help. 2.) I belong to the International Federation of Trekkers. www.iftcommand.com So those are the big reasons I try to stick with trekker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A l t e r E g o 9 Posted April 8, 2008 No preference. I once would have preferred one over the other but no longer, it doesn't matter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kor37 9 Posted April 8, 2008 I prefer the term "trekker". Trekkie brings to mind the oddball members of fandom. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VaBeachGuy 12 Posted April 9, 2008 Trekkie - Trekker six one way, half a dozen the other. I'm a Star Trek Fan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stephen of Borg 2 Posted April 10, 2008 I like Trekkie, which is what I call all fans. That word was Gene created and Trekker was a name a fan created. I have no shame in being called a Trekkie, in fact, that is my name on other forums Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
