Interesting points about Shatner's ego, and the reasons he didn't guest star on any of the other series. I don't doubt that the stories are true.
On the other hand, I have a game-designer friend who worked with Paramount back in the early '70s on the very first Star Trek game project. He met the cast and even got to talk to them a few times, and his take was that William Shatner was the only one he would ever care to go drinking with. He thought Shatner was the only one of the group who didn't take himself over-seriously, or was remotely interesting to talk to.
