I wonder if I could get away with starting a crowdfunding campaign that promises to do nothing and is honest about that:

"Give me money and I won't make a bad film, I won't draw shitty art, I won't dole out half-ass patches and I'll keep my mouth shut and not run down any one or anything! Honest! Gimme money!"

Like this POS that already got $2000 for her trip to STLV and upped her goal to $4000.......because why use ANY of your money?

It could work. It might go viral.

I was joking, but on a whim I decided to do a search on GoFundMe for "Money for nothing." This is the first entry that came up:

https://www.gofundme.com/neils-money-for-nothing-campaign

It tops a list 113,000 strong.

I might actually give it a try.

I'm not assuming that at all. I'm saying that if you actively curtail projects by externally imposing unnecessary restrictions, then you expect to reap the benefits of people who had to struggle on in spite of your active opposition, that doesn't exactly seem fair. Not that anyone here has any authority to impose those restrictions to begin with. Only CBS/Paramount does.

Utter nonsense assumptive strawman arguments.

Kind of like the people standing on street corners asking for beer money. I mean, kudos for honesty, right?

Not really...

Actually I'd be a lot "harsher" than CBS with zero social funding but I'd allow for a donate button if you liked what you saw and want to help to make more. Problem is that I'm not CBS, don't even own a lot of their stock so it's not up to me and never will be.

And you implied a similar sentiment:

Provided said group of Trekkers get along wanting to go a step further by doing a fan film then they should buy their own individual uniforms from the same source or buy bolts of fabric and learn to sew.

Emphasis mine. That doesn't sound like someone who's simply chosen not to donate to a Kickstarter. Quotes like these were the original context, and to state that my response to this was impling that I think people are obligated to donate is the real strawman.

Yep, Johnathan Lane's "Interlude" protest is only tangentially connected to Alec Peters...oh, wait:

Not gonna lie, I just want a beer.

Matt's looking for someone to take the bait for a never ending argument?

Take my money!

Obviously that his claims of a strawman were inaccurate. It's not rocket surgery.

I’ll start the “chicks for free” campaign to bookend the “money for nothing” campaign.

Mark Knopfler will be so proud!

Or even rocket science........love a good mixed metaphor.

For a minute there I thought he was in support of endless Gofundme and kickstarters to fund some body else's hobby.
Beer is a different story.

This sounds like the perfect time to announce my new project Star Trek: Postlude to Axanar, starring a cardboard cutout of Alec Peters--easily the most talented and personable version of Alec in existence! Instead of a traditional "movie" that's shot on "film" or "digitally", it'll be a puppet show shot on Fruit By The Foot. All I need is $1.5 million.
