Clearly most people online are as harmless as most people in bars.  However, a few in both locations are dangerous enough that caution is warranted.  But that aside, the good news is that Trekkies rated as the best among the worst.  While hardly high praise, it means that Mom &#038; Dad may be on your side Ensign Skippy.
