I met Bill in Boston on a trip to the Science museum in the 90’s. Perhaps we were annoying kids but I will never forget how much of a dickhead he was to everyone in my group including the teacher.
It’s not that hard to be nice to actual fans. We were all excited to get to meet him. Even the teacher agreed that Bill was at best unfriendly.
Interesting. He had a resurgence of popularity in the ‘10s. Watched some of his new content and remember being surprised by this egotistical, dysregulated old grump on screen, who was in a lot of ways the opposite of the man I watched on PBS as a kid. I kept it to myself but it seems every time I bump into him online it just solidifies that impression. Hope he gets the help he needs to get better.

Fuck you, Bill Nye.
That’s a real shame. They say don’t meet your heros.
It’s true. I met my heroine and now I can’t quit her. 😣
He was a fav, then fell out of favor as being an ass to everyone. Then he had a comeback, now he’s an ass again.

I’ve heard that he is an absolutely arrogant asshole from several people who I personally know that met him.
