Feeling guilty

I'm not saying that I don't have a bit of a feeling of being picked-on, or that I don't suffer from having excessive guilt. It's valid to challenge my accounts, but on the particular question of the screenplay, I have been firm since April 2023 on the legalities. That's 18 months where I said a correct statement; they simply ignored it, and then went to extraordinary lengths to attempt to discredit me. - I've been complaining about the drag hui for a very long time as well. They painted a picture of me as a creepy fixated stalker determined to fuck Chloe . They painted a picture of me as an ungrateful ingrate that wasn't willing to put back into the community that 'raised' them, even though it cost many thousands of dollars of my own money to level up and become a A-list filmmaker. They called the FTAC on me this week for things that were fairly trivial, and I hadn't been explicitly banned from doing any of those things. That's why the Greens need to say sorry. - An example of excessive guilt: well, I knew from being around Parliament and such that Chloe, Golriz and Kiri were all quite tight. I was fairly sure they were stalking me as well, so now I'm wondering if it's me that's the problem, and I'm driving everyone crazy. That's the kind of thing I feel. - Don't accuse me of being lonely and crazy. I've been begging them to cease, and they just haven't even considered the possibility of doing so. That's why VUW has to cease. I'm enrolled elsewhere: they must respect that choice. The Film Commission needs to sort this out. It's their mess: they tried to force me too, and I haven't forgotten that, Ainsley. As I say, if they can't pay the $70,000, then I expect immediate cessation. That's one year of Michelle's salary (presumably). Weeded Out's taken up about 3 years of my life thanks to the negotiations. With that $70,000, I can afford to go touring or travelling. So, if the entire country wants me to do that, then VUW and Toa and the Film Commission have to make things right with me, and that is the fee that I have asked for.

As for 'if you do Tina, then you'll become an A-list filmmaker' ... total load of shit. The Dakumentary has made me well-known, everyone in the film biz is totally shocked by it, and people are already borrowing ideas from it in the news (like those uncut interviews).
