Some of them are.
The ones who call themselves "Trekkies" are more likely to be weird than
those who just allow as they're fans of the show(s).
Exhibit A: the documentary "Trekkies". If you haven't watched it, do
so. A few of the people there are a little further out there than I'm
comfortable with.
Me, I'm just a fan. :) (One who doesn't have UPN available to her now,
though, so is missing this season of "Enterprise".)
Oh, and in the article, notice who's defending them: the actors.
Marina Sirtis in particular certainly has a vested interest in defending
them. :)
