Wheaton has a thick skin for that kind of thing. You'd have to to tolerate some of the treatment he's gotten from the "fans". I really give Will bigtime credit....and his role and acting was soooo much more inspired than Voyager's "Echeb" character.

They were at a convention getting ready to sit down and sign autographs. Wil says "hi" to the rest of the Trek actors there who returns the favor... except Shatner who doesn't even look up but instead says "let's get on with this" or "let's get this over with" and tells Wil to sit down. Or something along those lines. I think the whole story might still be in archives on Wil's website.

Thats funny, I never got that impression from Shatner based on what I've seen of him on tv. Im an avid fan of Late Night w/ Conan O'Brien and Shatner is on there ofter and he always comes across and a jovial individual, not to mention the effort he is willing to put into STV long after the fact seems to go above and beyond the norm. Then again, hes on tv so its all an act...

Shatner probably has spent too long on the net and just jumped on the "I hate Wesley" band-wagon. I mean some the people people out there that harp about him. Geez. Don't like Wesley - who cares. Alt.wesley.die.die.die hmmmm.

Um, yeah. William Shatner is surely among the technoelite. Yes yes.
Actually, I think I recall reading on the frighteningly interesting wilwheaton.net that the two had since made up, or otherwise clarified and rectified the situation.

I WAS joking. I don't get it though... what happened - He just didn't say hello? Maybe he didn't know who he was? Maybe Shatner was at the end of the line and was waiting for Wesley to sit down. Maybe he didn't hear him?

A year ago, perhaps longer, perhaps not. William Shatner was on the Craig Kilborn late night entertainment talk show on one of the network broadcasting stations. CBS? Yes, I think it was.
Anyway, he's talking and talking and Priceline.com this, and "I fake write books" that, and Priceline.com this. Because, this is years ago, mind you, and Priceline.com was in it's infancy.
So, he's talking and talking and wasting all the hot air that could be used to make children balloons of puppies and giraffes, and then he proceeds to tell this story.
And I'm all: "You're on the TV, and you are part of the superculture revolution of the late 1960's, and you are worshipped by the fattest, whitest men in the whole planet, and yet, you have no anecdotes about Spock or Nerds or Spock Nerds or just fun Hollywood rambunctiousness?
No, you don't, Mr. S, you have to tell an Urban Legend to entertain people. You are a fraud, and I doubt even your books are written by you.
PS: The site seems to claim that "In July 2000, William Shatner managed to move the legend to a new late-night talk show by telling host Conan O'Brien the incident had happened to his co-author," but I know this to be false. It was Craig Kilborn, and it was not his co-author, but him. Perhaps the rabbit was his co-author's rabbit, or even his co-author himself, and maybe he said it twice, once to both Kilborn and O'Brien, and if he did, it's like, he is the least creative person in the field of creativeness.
