Explaining myself

If my enemies were willing to simply take my statements that I wasn't deliberately antagonising them at face value, then they could move on from their bafflement that they own 0% of my script and that's really the truth. The Beach Song never referred to VUW by name. That means they decided to interpret it that way, but that's not my intention. Neither Garyfilm nor Three Sad Waltzes had anything to do with James and Cassandra. That's honestly bloody insulting, and that's why I'm furious with them. 👋 Everyone who was butthurt by Weeded Out can rest mollified that all my characters are composites of several real people, and I often put dialogue from someone in real life into the mouths of characters that weren't based on them. I was trying to shake things up... - It's amazing how good I've become as a provocateur; I have a knack for that. But honestly, I do handicap myself against my competitors, so it's not like I'd say something like Mad Men ('I never think of you at all') ... I'm aware of my competitors. I'm not big on going to gigs, concerts or plays, though; I go to cinemas, galleries and various other events for dates and stuff. I figured that was obvious from my movies! ✊🐝🏳️‍⚧️
