Wow, I really hope he has some real evidence to back up what he's saying about Carlos, because those seem like some pretty massive accusations to be throwing around.
It is a little agravatting that we do have members of the anti-Axanar crowd doing stuff like that, because that just gives Peters all ammo he needs to accuse everybody who doesn't like him or Axanar of being horrible, evil people.

I do love how manipulative the blog posts from both Peters and Lane are. "I'm not accusing anyone of anything (but look at all reasons why it looks like they did something)". "No, Axanar isn't canon (but "head canon is a thing, we're, great and Discovery just ripped us off)", ect., ect.:rolleyes:

Axanar good. Discovery Bad.. but we never said anything bad about discovery but if you want to think it that is on you. Just horrible.

Sometimes I read these post about Alec and his 'haters' and really have to roll my eyes. There are a lot more real world things to worry about than Alec shenanigans. To me Alec is a criminal who got away with ripping off fans and still is trying to find ways to milk the fan base. Like O.J. (to a much lesser degree) he got away with a crime and many people are mad that he did. The best thing everyone can do is simply ignore him (Axanar fans and detractors alike). Alex feeds on attention both negative and positive so people need to treat him like the little nobody loser he is. Alec has yet to prove himself as a the high end producer he claims to be. Until he can put out come critically acclaimed productions he does not deserve the attention he gets.

It isn't that easy when he is planning to try to get another $200k out of people to actually finally do axanar.... or go to a sushi bar instead.
 
You'll never be a writer until you understand why your epic story is little more than a random collection words. You'll never be an Exec until you learn how to bring all the proper elements into place to produce your chosen project. You'll never become an Actor until you understand the character, transform into it and convey those emotions to the audience.
So who doesn't fail their first few times out? Except for Audrey, who nailed her 1st acting role (Captain cuteness).
The question is, what you do with that failure? Do you take all that criticism, do a deep self evaluation and learn to correct them? Or do you simply resort to calling everyone haters, threatening lawsuits and surrounding yourself with yes people, some possibly afraid to speak out and suffer the wrath for doing so.
The great LFIM created all this contempt because he never learned to listen.

AxaMonitor's summary of the "Axanar Disaster" website launched by former CTO Terry McIntosh with its release of never-before-disclosed Axanar data about financials, unaccounted for revenue, VFX footage and more. Read more »

I looked at the site and read Terry's deposition. I noticed that looking at the media requires bit-torrent to view. I, for one, am uncomfortable using any kind of bit-torrent software on my PC. Will there be a way to view this material without bit-torrent?

Bit-torrent itself is fine, as long as you use a reputable client (so you don't get malware or virus's just from installing the software).
It's not a bad idea to get Malware Bytes or Webroot before putting that kind of thing on your computer.

Likely not. The article said:
McIntosh made a point of distributing the video archive using BitTorrent technology, he said, because the archive exists in pieces hosted on servers throughout the Internet. Because the files don’t reside on any single server, they lie beyond the legal reach of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998, which would otherwise allow for the material to be taken down at the request of those asserting copyright over the files.

So, pretty much a way to get around any unnecessary litigious entanglements.

He has nothing but hatred for Carlos, who keeps using pesky timeline and facts to bolster his writings. Trying to tie Carlos to someone who bashes Axanar is defamatory and possibly libelous, although I'm sure Carlos wouldn't bother for any number of reasons. I don't think you meant to, but it appears that your lumping Carlos in with Anti-Axanar types whom you feel are going too far. Some people may indeed be going too far, but it's unfair IMHO to lump him in with any such group.

Oh, not I didn't mean to lump Carlos in with the people going to far. I've actually been impressed with how well he's handled things, even when Alec has started attacking him. I actually find it kind of funny, because it just makes Alec look worse.

Not to blame anyone but I understand Starbase Studios was broken into and smashed up

I didn't realise this had happened! Is there a thread or link about it?

I remember seeing pictures a few months back of studio repairs but thought it was them getting back on their feet after their flood damage.
