Different Star Trek Chronologies

[Dayton Ward]

Like too many others who seem to spend too much time looking for these sorts of fights that don't need fighting, Dixon complained incessantly about the Okuda chronology being treated as some sort of holy writ, when everybody else including the Okudas themselves - in the document itself, no less - cautioned against considering it as anything more than a general guideline that featured much conjecture and was subject to revision as more info was made available.

Makes sense. I remember it being revised at least once. And the encycolopaedia potted version.

If only they had revised it in the new Encyclopedia when it was obviously neccessary.

Another thing Dixon took major umbrage with was (in his words) entire novels "being built around a timeline," as he accused the Reeves-Stevenses of doing with their novel Federation and their Shatnerverse works -- in other words, basically flat-out calling them fawning Okuda-groupies, or some such shit.

Well if that doesn't summon him, I don't know what will.
He claimed to have a v18 of his chronology complete but wasn't releasing it (LINK, it should he easy to tell which are him), maybe he addressed some of the other issues too.

Also, LOL @ how many of those butthurt, giant wall-o'-text posts on that page are clearly obviously written by James Dixon himself.
