    I might suggest that they fall more into the realm of "improv".

    Well I wish someone would "reimburse" me for the time I wasted reading them.

    ETA: On the subject of reimbursements, I am amused that Alec is perfectly ok with spending hundreds of thousands of donor dollars to build an independent business, AND with claiming that he spent a large chunk of his own funds ON THAT SAME BUSINESS and thus had the right to be "reimbursed" from donor funds.

    He can't crowdfund for Axanar, but he can fundraise privately for Axanar. And apparently he can crowdfund up to the $50,000 limit for other Trek fan films. So what is sounds like to me is he is going to do several more fundraisers for different projects. We shall see if any of them go anywhere or if the new studio can survive.

    An early meme I posted (can't remember how far back) seems rather timely - am surprised LFIM's BS has managed to deflect such sentiments from the larger donor base........

    Familiar rhetoric that has been a staple in thiswholething also found being used in the wider world:
    (am looking at the national news on my television screen with this as I'm typing):
    [recently elected national office holder] who's slogan was to bring back the greatness it has lost, calls Judge who oversaw a recent lawsuit against him-or-her that settled out of court a "Hater". Having also Tweeted February 7th "the haters are going crazy” in reference to activists dissenting against [him/her]. Also calling these critics 'pathetic losers and liars'.

    Sadly, I currently have the utmost confidence that they will and the studio will survive this latest setback. And that the defendant&company (possibly sans one) will reasonably prosper into at least the near future. (as opposed to continuing into the far future riding, as it were, into the sunset)

    And I would very much like to be found wrong in all of this.

    Not only that, he managed to collect his reimbursement a year before he made the investment. Since the business lost money in that time, did Axanar pay Alec positive interest? Pretty nice perpetual motion machine... bet the IRS would like to get in on it...

    Funny how that works, huh? It's almost like he took the final costs and made all the numbers work so that it would be EXACTLY even.

    Thankfully this has been my Political Sanctuary Web site, after being in business over 30 years I can assure anyone that I've been equally screwed by both sides. Different Oratory, same Results.

    He still seems to think he can turn Axanar Productions into an actual business. I just dont' see it.

    More like he thinks he can continue milking that cash cow indefinitely.

    It was 'The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald'?

    When I was reading it I thought 'this reminds of of TWotEF. I wonder what it really is.' :lol:
