Just off camera, one of his acolytes is "honouring" him...

Yeah, I went there - so sue me
 
What still baffles me in all of this is that they raised $1.1 million from donations. Maybe it is just me but that is a huge amount of money they raised simply by saying they want to make their own Star Trek film. I'd me impressed if anyone could raise $10,000 doing that but I just cannot comprehend raising $1.1 million...

The only people I would donate to are the guys and girls over in Holland - their series, despite occasional bad acting, had me gripped

I will certainly never donate money to anything connected with Peters in any way, shape or form

They still have $745,566 to go. Likely more given their monthly "burn rate" of money to just keep the lights on at the warehouse-cum-studio.

Well George did get behind them and he has 9.5 MILLION likes on Facebook and 1.81 million followers on Twitter. He supported Axanar in the 2nd Kickstarter and Indegogo fundraisers. I would love to hear his opinion now.
 
New on AxaMonitor today:
PETERS: NO COMMENT on whether he is a member of the investor group buying the Ares Studios assets from Axanar Productions — Donors will find out first — Attorneys say they're OK with studio sale — Claims the studio is not an asset worth any money. Read more »

It PAINS me to listen to him. If not a member just say NO. If asked follow up questions then very nicely decline to comment further. Or how about just not doing any GD interviews? He just pours gasoline on the fire every time.
 
He kept saying that the vast majority of comments on Facebook and YouTube have been positive, but I have heard (here on Trek-BBS and elsewhere) that they delete negative comments and will even blacklist users who post too much negativity. If that's true, isn't it more than a little disingenuous to claim such overwhelmingly support??
 



Seriously though, great responses............I can definitely see C/P picking Alec's words apart. If Bawden has more than three working brain cells, he'll put his foot down or walk away (one would think, given Lord Alec's predilection for running his worthless mouth)
 
By the way ... we covered both the interview he did with Matthew (including some response to what he said), as well as an interview Robert Meyer Burnett did with a podcast called Blind Panels.

Burnett didn't like having his bullshit quoted, and tried to flame me both on Facebook and Twitter accusing me of, get this ... theft! :D

Here is our report on Peters' interview: http://1701news.com/node/1116/peters-axanar-operates-non-profit.html (Peters: Axanar Operates As A Non-Profit)

And here is our report on Burnett's interview: http://1701news.com/node/1114/axanar-director-were-trying-reach-settlement.html (Axanar Director: We're Trying To Reach A Settlement)
This is the wierdest thing I've seen on the internet, and that's saying somehing.
 
Their popularity on the internet doesn't matter. What matters is that they're stealing.

Communicating that & convincing both a jury and 'the faithful' will take some skill.........so far, I haven't seen much of it coming from Axanar's counsel (despite their supposed stellar reputations)

Exactly....All that the Axanar groups get to see is what Alec and Terry allow. Which is all the positive. Negatives are deleted and the posters who ask questions are kicked from the group. So yeah, the normal Axanar fan has NO IDEA what is really going on. They just know what they are told. Big bad CBS/Paramount picking on poor little Alec and Company........true fans and the keeper of Gene's one true vision............I threw up a little just typing that shite.
 
Hasn't Alec offered to refund the donation of any donor who asks? Has anyone asked? It seems this would be a simpler course than a lawsuit.

One of my co-workers donated to the second Kickstarter campaign. Despite reaching out to Diana, he was unable to get the promised refund. Has anyone who donated been successful in getting a refund, especially post-lawsuit?
