Hihihi, I'm laughing my head off when I read all this. Yes, Captain of the Enterprise, Han Planta, Dr. Spock and Hair Peace are all the same guy. And that guy is me. However it beats me who this B from Earth is and I am not the Admiral of the Constitution!
If that Admiral is who I think he is, he's the guy who blew up his ship because he didn't like the dedication plaque on his bridge. Shows what kind of a man he is!

Start a fight?? Well, as the father of the Captain of Babylon 5 would say, "Never start a fight, but be sure to finnish it"
This is how it started. When I read the postings under the thread "Entrance fee : 5 or 100 Euro ?" Dr. Banner became The Hulk. Some quotes from that tread:
>and alot of people agree with me on that
>FACTSanime-convention and Startrek-convention
>in the same building but away from those stupid Trekkies.
>FUCK strarwars/trek....
>Yeah, those stupid trekkies with their wide costumes
>on are just in my way when i'm trying to look for
>some good anime.
When I read that, I decided not to give those people a reply in that thread, but rather to ignore them and start a new thread in which I proposed to turn F.A.C.T.S. into a Star Trek convention. If they don't want us around, why should we want them around?
Also, if you come to think of it, why pay an entrance fee at all. You don't pay an entrance fee to enter the supermarket, to enter the mall (Shopping Center),... You don't pay an entrance fee if by paying that fee all you can do is enter a place where you can buy things.
On the other hand, I'm willing to pay an entrance fee of 100 Euro or more if on top of entering a dealer's room, for that money I can watch a decent show. If I can watch celebrities preforme on stage, watch them answer questions form the audience,... (don't care to much about signatures for which one has to pay again.) And it doesn't bother me if those celebrities are from Trek, Wars, LOTR, manga, comics,...
But I doubt manga fans will want to pay that fee if the celebrities are not exclusively from the world of Animé. That's why I would rather have F.A.C.T.S. turn into a Star Trek Convention.
In other words, one doesn't pay just to get the opportunity to buy merchandise or signatures. One pays an entrance fee only if one gets his money's worth. 5 Euro is too much for just a dealer's room and an autograph session and 100 Euro is not enough if you can get the biggest stars on stage.
Now I admit that I over reacted when I read those insults in that other thread. And I shouldn't have in turn insulted them here. And I am willing to appologize if that can bring peace to all. But my personal view is 5 or 100 Euro, I don't care as long as we all get our money's worth. Trekkies, SW fans, Manga fans, comic fans,... All of us.
Captain of the Enterprise/Han Planta/Dr. Spock and Hair Peace.
