Tim Brazael can be heard breathing sighs of relief from miles away.
Everything else aside, Peters just goes to show you what sort of a character he has. Deeply insecure and all style without substance.
He's like the sports coach who takes over a team and uses a lot of spiel to get the team up and running....only for it all to fall apart once the players start realising there's little more beyond the talk. That's why Peters, for all his gloating, has always been a nearly man in business. People see through him after a while and he doesn't have what it takes to truly make it because his only talent is short term manipulation. Seen it so many times over the years. That's why as a non-donor and someone who doesn't know him personally, I nonetheless took exception to him once I started to learn about him (and this was back in the Propwork era). I knew exactly what sort of a cretin he is.
I think for Malta you'd be better off with a tray of cassata
Hated? I don't think so. Recognized for what he is rather than what he thinks he is, possibly.
Makes me wonder if he offered the Reason editors a pan of "special" brownies to get that favorable coverage a few months back...
"The only blog that consults with actual lawyers...." Well, I guess that's technically true. I mean, on the G&T Show page, @jespah writes the blogs, and given that she actually IS an actual lawyer and thus doesn't need to "consult with" any other lawyers, her blog doesn't fit that description. 
I have not had any emails yet from kickstarter, I have asked them why it's under review, what AP said and that he was only doing this to shut up unhappy donors.
"The only blog that consults with actual lawyers...." Well, I guess that's technically true. I mean, on the G&T Show page, @jespah writes the blogs, and given that she actually IS an actual lawyer and thus doesn't need to "consult with" any other lawyers, her blog doesn't fit that description.
And @carlosp isn't a blogger but a journalist, so Axamonitor's okay. (I also know that Michael Hinman has referenced speaking to attorneys before as well.)
Here comes memes to save the day!

I consult with myself.
And I am awesome.
I think I'm in loveThat 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:
Ok, ok, that's not entirely true. It'll be more like this (minus the gun and cigar of course):
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.
@Noname Given - I love the fact he signs his emails "Executive Producer."
Also, I find the whole "I gave the flight attendants cupcakes and they upgraded me" story beyond hilarious.
It's so perfect that so many stories in this saga have revolved around products that are quickly consumed, have little nutritional value, and are converted into excrement.
A fitting metaphor for Axanar.

I tried to give the guy giving me a parking ticket a cupcake, I still got a fine.
Maybe next time I"ll offer the cop a donut instead...
