CBS/Paramount sues to stop Axanar

Not open for further replies.
Peters says "Blocked" like he's actually doing it. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if he's one of those people so obsessive that he'll claim he's blocked you, but never actually do it.

whatevs, he's burning up they days in which he could still just surrender and somehow get out with less than a life changing judgment and press profile. if he doesn't have the sense to prioritize, it's too bad.

I (almost) hate to make the comparison, but AP's email behavior is similar to what I've seen in forum conversations. People trying desperately to have the last word, so it drags on and on and on ...

Personally, if I ever received an email from that jacknut I'd just assign his address to the spam folder and let him think he's won.
 
Well, you know after being BLOCKED by Alec Peters, I don't know IF I can handle it, so I sent the following:
To
<Axanar e-mail address redacted>
Today at 3:02 PM

OMG! My life is RUINED!

Oh, wait... ; )

Yeah, I doubt he'll respond if he actually blocked my address, but still, you NEVER know. :angel:

Yeah, I know; but where's the FUN in that? ;)
 
Peters Spams Kickstarter. After backer complaints, Kickstarter deletes dozens of posts spammed on the Axanar page by producer Alec Peters. He follows up by publicly blaming specific 'malcontent' backers who questioned his spending, silencing more critics and refusing to offer any more refunds. Read more »
Refusing to issue refunds or requiring "non-disclosure agreements" as a condition of receiving a refund is, in my view, a violation of Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act because they are "unfair or deceptive" acts affecting interstate commerce.
 
Is there any possibility that we are only being lead to believe Peters ripped through all that money without creating a single thing after Prelude.
Now wait a moment. Let's be fair. He did produce the Vulcan scene, and two trailers with shouting Klingons. And he produced a for-rent green-screen studio.

upgraded for free on the ticket I paid for myself because I bought cupcakes for the flight attendants
Best deal I've ever heard of. Spend less than $20 at the bakery (who here believes he made them himself??) and get a couple-few hundred dollar bump-up. Wow. What's more surprising is the idea that he could even get a box of cupcakes through security check-in. No open food or drinks. So, he would have had to buy them at the airport, but I can't say I've ever seen a bakery inside the terminal area or any airport I've flown through.
Again, I could care less.
Not to nit-pick, be the saying is "I could not care less." To say "I could care less," means you actually care some. And given your posting record here, I somehow doubt that to be true.

Alec seduces them to the darkside! LOL Just curious, who here as actually met Alec, I obviously have, but just curious of the regular posters here. Also, if you have met him, what were your impressions?
I've met him at Star Trek conventions. He can be charming, but I already knew before I met him not to really trust him. He is kinda pretentious. One time a group of us from a prop collectors forum had plans and he blew it off because someone more important was available.

"DECLARATION OF JONATHAN LANE
I am a writer for Axanar Productions, Inc."
-- legal declaration filed with the Court for this litigation (which production is the property of the defendant)
"I personally never claimed to be completely unbiased" -- Mr. Lane (from his comment in fff about this production speaking directly about this production he writes for & the defendant whose production company this is)
"The only source of news on Axanar and the CBS lawsuit approved by the defendant" -- FanFilmFactor (Mr. Lane's blog, who writes for the production <see above declaration>, which is the property of the defendant... and both the production and the defendant are the defendants in the lawsuit.. about which Mr. Lane is writing)

--and--

" Fan Film Factor is the ONLY unbiased source" -- Mr. Peters (who is the defendant in this lawsuit as well as the property holder of the production that is being sued in this lawsuit, and is referring to Mr. Lane, who writes for this production that is the property of Mr. Peters, who is the defendant in this lawsuit, that Mr. Lane is writing about)
"he is the only blogger that is ...... unbiased" -- Mr. Peters (again, the defendant in this lawsuit, who the production in this lawsuit belongs to, which production Mr. Lane writes for, as per Mr. Lane himself, and who is the blogger Mr. Peters refers to as the only unbiased source on this lawsuit)


Right. So this is like that Independent Financial Review Committee thing that has donors to the production on it..... so it isn't an actual independent financial review committee.

Mr. Lane legally declares to the Court he works for the production
(which is the production in this lawsuit that is the property of the defendant in this lawsuit)
Mr. Lane states on his FanFilmFactor blog that he has never claimed to be unbiased.
Which said FanFilmFactor blog is also declared by the 'defendant' in the litigation to be the ONLY unbiased source of the litigation news
because Mr. Lane
who says he has never claimed to be unbiased
who works for the property
that is the property of the defendant
both of which are the defendants in this case
that Mr. Lane is blogging about
is the only blogger that is unbiased --and-- Mr. Lane's FanFilmFactor internet blog is the only source of news on the defendant which the 'defendant' himself approves of.​


And I'm telling ya right now that this is going to make perfect sense to some people. And they won't be stupid people either. Probably pretty nice people too. And both these things, the Independant Financial Revieww Committee that has Donors 'to' the production 'in' it..... and the FanFilmFactor blog being the only source of unbiased news, which unbiased news is being written by a person who writes for the production, about the production.... These things are going to make perfect sense to them.

They will read this and will, in good conscience, look at me and think there is something wrong with me because I see the fallacy in it.

Au contraire. :biggrin: LFIM, The Holder of Gene's True Vision® and Gate Keeper of Star Trek® has some self-honesty issues. Give it up, LFIM, you aren't lying your way out of this. Screenshots, almost as good as pie.

Axanar Annual Report

So now he's even getting pissy with people who are trying to be nice? I wouldn't see why it matters if the guy is a donor or not when all he is doing is trying to be supportive and wish the Axanar dumbasses good luck.
I wonder if the people behind the unproduced Final Frontier animated series know he is using one of their characters as his Avatar? That honestly strikes me as kind of questionable since he is involved with an unconnected production.
That's fine for a fan, but once you become a creator something like that would seem to imply an association that as far as I know isn't there. I know the first thing I would do if I became a creator is get rid of my Spidey avatar and change it to something associated with whatever I was working.
 
I haven't spoken to him, but I saw Mr. Peters at a book signing for Return to Tomorrow in Burbank over a year ago with @Karzak and @Indysolo. Peters was taking pictures with other fans there like he was some sort of star, and loving every minute of it. His motivations were pretty transparent in that moment.

That was before he had fired his remaining two neurons to piece together my real identity (those two remaining neurons being Robert Meyer Burnett and a finger of Knob Creek.) Peters was cruising the room, talking, it seemed, to everyone but our group. He was definitely getting off on being the "big man on campus" as it were, and if it hadn't been so amusing to behold - the big fish in a tiny pond - it would have been otherwise sickening. To this day I still wonder if he paid for that copy of Return to Tomorrow with donor funds.

* * *

Where to begin?

Obviously I am roaring with laughter (again) at these latest revelations. As I mentioned to a friend earlier, seeing all this come to light, to know "It's ok, you were right all along, even though the Axanar mob kept trying to shout you down all these years..." is from a personal perspective enormously validating. I'm of course still sympathetic to all the people who were scammed and who have lost out on this entire ordeal because of Alec's selfishness, greed, ineptitude and arrogant ambition, but I also hope this entire debacle has taught at least some of the more impassioned Axanar supporters that just because someone comes along and gives you your bread and circuses doesn't mean they aren't also the sneaky villains out to rob you.

You all know how I feel about Alec and Rob and their entire little pyramid scheme. I marvel at the idea that all those years ago when Peters had people vehemently defending him over the rumor he may have purchased a new car with donor funds (including Rob Burnett) and now we find he's cruising around town in a Lexus. Peters, his $38,000.00 salary for his self-appointed "full-time, 80 hours week" job and he's driving a goddamn Lexus. BigJake, I hope that crow you're eating right now is delicious.

The shenanigans on Facebook, Twitter, Kickstarter, etc. ... none of this is new. This is how Peters has always been. This is the Alec who was, this is the Alec who is, this is the Alec who will be. His idiocy knows no end, his blind, furious arrogance knows to limit.

OF COURSE
he is going to try to control the narrative of this mess, even now. There's a reason @Squiggy 's Downfall parodies are so hilarious - it's because they are more attuned to the true nature of Alec than he realizes, and all hyperbole and criticism aside, the one thing we can all agree one, the one skill this irredeemably parasitic flotsam and gaudy feeble-minded, flaccid mattress-soiling vulgarity has undeniably mastered is the art of denial. (Like Starbuck told Apollo, "Everyone's got a skill...")

It has been a long road with all of this Axanar nonsense. It's been a tragic road (tragic in its most minor sense mind you. Again - small pond) and we've seen a lot of people who should have known better get dragged along into it. We've also seen some people reveal their true natures, arguably the one most surprising being the unrelenting petulance and pathetic and intractable two-faced-ness of Robert Meyer Burnett, easily the one person still supporting Axanar and Alec who had the best shot at redeeming his career from this mess and whose blind rage and man-child Twitter rants and temper tantrums have likely soured that well for him. Personally, I don't give two shits about the bloated moron, he brought it on himself despite warnings from several of us, and oh yeah, he's the dipshit who outed me to Peters, who then proceeded to dox me last summer. Charming fella, that Rob Burnett.

No, this whole thing is a riot. Voltaire himself would not have been able to satirize this cartoon. Shit, Voltaire said it himself - "I have never made but one prayer to God, a very short one: 'O Lord make my enemies ridiculous.' And God granted it."

Alec, Drunk Rob, Crysssssstal, Bawden, T-Mac, Diana Prime, David "No Dog," Slow Lane, (see, its really a cartoon) ... you are ridiculous. Utterly, pathetically, hopelessly ridiculous. And Alec, this last bit is for you:

I get that despite your own general inanity and low intelligence you probably won't understand this reference, but I'll make it anyway. In a way I feel most sorry for you. You clearly have some skill when interacting with people to be able to con them so cleverly out of their money and to make them believe your sincerity. Maybe that's why you hilariously believed you could be an actor. Maybe it's why you thought vomiting up a bunch of words on a couple of pages with gee whiz space battles and endless Mary Sue'ing yourself you could actually be a writer. But any actor and writer worth their salt knows that even MacBeth was smart enough and self-aware enough to tell his audience:

“I am in blood stepped in so far that should I wade no more, Returning were as tedious as go o’er,”

i.e. "I've traveled this far down the river of blood, I might as well keep going."

When Klausner drops that gavel on your disloyal, infringing asses for the final time, declaring once and for all in California court of law that you're guilty as charged, and you're standing in that courtroom watching the lawyers from Loeb & Loeb congratulate the execs from CBS and Paramount, I'll be there too, sitting in the back, waving at you like this:

tumblr_inline_mp1bjlvxai1qz4rgp_zpsbhelewem.gif

Ok, ok, that's not entirely true. It'll be more like this (minus the gun and cigar of course):

tumblr_m654lg8W6a1r426i4o8_250_zpsrkzwyq0m.gif

And even then, I know.

And I know you know.

And I know you know that I know:

Somewhere, deep in the dark empty recesses of your narcissistic personality disorder-riddled brain, deep down in that chasm of Time Lord "bigger on the inside" inflated ego wellspring, you're still (still!) going to believe none of this is your fault.

Even then, despite the fact that you're a narcissistic nostril-offending dreg of the Internet and a mean-spirited poltroon, rest assured that you have made enough enemies throughout this entire ordeal that we'll always be here to remind you of how completely wrong you are and have always been.

So! Enjoy these final moments of infamy. They're the closest you've ever come to actually earning anything in your life. And when these final moments are over, I look forward with the most delicious anticipation watching as you kindly fucking disappear off the face of this fandom whose goodwill, creativity, and spirit which you have so thoroughly poisoned with your shameless, greedy and ill-advised cash grab.
