“So I decided I don’t need his name to get publicity.
He acknowledged, “Although I just did.
He’s just a cantankerous old man and I’m going to leave him to his devices.
I’m not going to play his game.”
As for whether Shatner was a “cantankerous younger man,” Takei said, “He was self-involved.
He enjoyed being the center of attention.
He wanted everyone to kowtow to him.”
Sixty years after some incident they are still on that track.
Don’t you think that’s a little weird?
It’s like a sickness.”
He continued, “These people are bitter and embittered.
I have run out of patience with them.
Why give credence to people consumed by envy and hate?”
