So Alec Peters' claim that 1701 News quoted him out of context and that editor-in-chief Michael Hinman cut up his quotes after the fact in order to make Peters look bad turns out to be untrue. 1701 News has published all of Peters' quotes, in their entirety, and will shortly make the audio recording available, too.

Well, damn.:) While this will mean absolutely nothing regarding the outcome of the litigation, and though this will mean nothing in the least to those who will continue to support this production....... this means a 'lot' to me. To have a place that has no need to fear a just-to-censure lawsuit if it is threatened, the way the little guy like me couldn't, finally and fearlessly face down this rhetoric and loudly say "B.S.", in print. This means a lot to me.

When this recording comes available will you let us know please?

I was just threatened directly by Peters (on Facebook so you know it's official), not by his attorneys. If Peters told them to file a suit against anyone I'm sure they'd laugh.
Thank you, Squiggy. So in this list have I duplicated you? I will change it if I have.

Threatened with a lawsuit list:
I read a blogger who says he got one.
There's the probability the threat to Oliva was one.
Mike from G & T got one.
Did the FB host of ISWCBS mention he got one?
Squiggy got one.

Garth simplifies it by replying with an automated plug in that just beats "haters!"
 
Wait a minute. Alec knows Hinman's history, knew Hinman was one of the people running the site, agreed to do the interview anyway...and other people are stupid for not instantly assuming the end result might be biased?

How convenient Hinman's 'biased hater ' status wasn't a cause for concern before.

EDIT: That's not to say that I think the piece was a hatchet job. It's just Alec's attempt to cover his ass is:brickwall:

Carlos, I think you misunderstood the audio recording. We have no intention of making the audio recording public.

It was created as a way to protect ourselves from any spurious claims that Peters was misquoted. It was not intended for public consumption.

Thanks for the very kind words ... we don't bow down to frivolous lawsuit threats. Never have, never will.

As for the audio recording, I believe Carlos simply misunderstood our intentions. There are no plans to release the audio recording. It was not created for public release, thus it is reporter work product.
 
I'm honestly surprised that Peters hasn't tried to bully the TrekBBS into deleting this thread.

Bring. It. On.

And kiss my Romulan ass, you narcissistic imbecile. And don't think of trying to doxx ME because unlike most, everything is out there and always has been and since I work from home (and am my own boss) you can't get me in trouble.

Nice ownage, Hinman. Smart to protect yourself ahead of time. Given his behaviors, very wise indeed.

He's trying to save his studio. Trek can go to hell as far as he's concerned; he's looking to his future.

Thanks, Bonnie! And I don't think Alec has you quivering, despite what the Downfall version of him says. :) You are a rock!

there's lots of debate about which flavor of story is favored by a true Trek fan. but there's one flavor of story that's gonna end up universally agreed upon as true Trek persona non grata. Its a shame it has to exist.

My error, Michael. Sorry, everyone, if I built up your hopes.

Have you considered running for President?
