Title: Hey Al!

Your article on Chakotay got a mention on anti-Trek website stardestroyer.net

https://bbs.stardestroyer.net/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=94630&start=0

Personally I saw stardestroyer.net as really stupid; it attacks Star Trek for technobabble in its applied phlebotinum and then...provides explanations for applied phlebotinum in Star Wars. But I just thought it was interesting that your article got their notice.

Rob Schmidt, the publisher of Blue Corn, got some hate mail from Beltran fans over my article too.

It's funny because, Chakotay is a racist stereotype. And these people who complain about your analysis of Chakotay *cough*David Brin*cough* will likely complain about the Dark Elves or Jar Jar or any franchise other than Star Trek. Even the fact that Harry Potter's a WASP has not escaped their notice.

(And despite what Rob thinks, no, Kirk isn't half Sioux. Remember, the novelizations aren't canon for Trek.)
