    From what I've seen, whenever Alec Peters is involved, the truth tends to be trampled and stomped into the dirt.

    See, it's video like that that makes me wonder why in discussions like this there's always some sort of moral equivalence. "Alec and Shawn" should do this. "Alec and Shawn" should calm down, "Alec and Shawn' should grow up, yet every time there's some sort of public meeting between them Alec turns out to be the asshole. Every. Single. Time. He instigates and then plays the victim.

    So I officially declare that I don't give a damn what Shawn has done or will do or should do. Alec needs to learn how to ignore him when they're in the same public venue. Don't talk to him, don't look at him, don't fart in his general direction, so that if - IF - Shawn actually starts something, he has a legitimate beef.

    It shouldn't be that hard, cause he's, like, smarter than Shawn, right?

    Actually, there was an episode of Heraldo back in '87 or '88 with a bunch of super-extremist black and white militants (total powder-keg scenario) when a massive brawl started on set and he got nailed squarely in the nose with a flying chair. It was positively hysterical to watch. Had a bandage over his nose for a month after that. :lol:

    I'm surprised Alec hasn't tried to get a protective order in the past to be honest or filed a lawsuit against Sean given how litigious he has proven himself to be. Regardless, there is no good guy in this situation, only bad (Shawn) and worse (Alec) if the story presented above (and strangely confirmed by Alec himself in a self own video) are true. At least this time Shawn didn't recruit his minor child to do his work for him so I suppose that's an improvement.

    Regardless, I hope that Shawn releases the full video of how this went down assuming he hasn't already in his group.

    Spanish. Geraldo. :)

    I just don't think this is worth commenting on one way or another given there's no clarity on exactly what went down. Right now it's just speculation.

    Y'know, at some point, somebody is actually going to get hurt with this. It could have happened at DragonCon the other day; this moment could've escalated, somebody could've slipped & banged their head, one of you lunatic America gun owners could've thought it was 2nd Amendment time, who knows?

    But somebody is going to get hurt at some point, and it could be from either "side".

    True, and it doesn’t matter, but I still expect it to come from the Axanar side, they just seem to have a larger cadre of unhinged crazies than the Axamonitor people do. And, actually, they do come across as angrier than the Axamonitors. Not sure why, they’re still free to give their money to Alec Peters without seeing any return for it, that hasn’t been stopped.

    Right, all us Cowboy Beebop Americans are still drunkenly wobbling out of our saloons and indiscriminately shooting each other in the streets and spitting our chaw in random directions after the past 200+ years. :lol:

    You silly Brits still haven't figured out that the 2A (the Constitution and the rest of our Bill of Rights) was because of your unchecked colonialism in the first place.

    No, I understand as I studied a bit of history. It’s OK if you’re still worried about us Brits returning, keep your guns just in case.

    I mean, that’s literally on each US newspapers front page each day. Ok, sometimes it’s schools but you get my point?

    Alarmist liberal bullshit aside (Gor blimey! They're gonna blow each other away! "Cause Americans!! :rolleyes:), if such an escalation is in the offing, all the more reason for at least one of the antagonists to retract his claws and learn to say "Whatever, man..." and walk away. I'm just of the opinion that the guy who screams at kids for no reason and bitchslaps phones is obligated to be the one to stand down first.
