Key facts for my stalkers

You have no legal right to perform my material, and pretending as if you did is the reason that I was forced to get this intense. You have no legal right to ask me to join your group. You have no legal right to try and 'rehabilitate' me because I slagged you off. You crossed a line by telling me that I was only a fetishist because it was easier for you if that were true. That's another example of confirmation bias: you're kinky and you're into ABDL, so you assumed that I was. Cass and James, this is all that I'm ever going to say. I have the absolute right to make this statement, and that is the end of this discussion. You're only pretending to be nice because I thoroughly shamed you and proved that you were acting unlawfully. Same for VUW. There is no possible restorative process that I'd consent to. I'm always allowed to say no, particularly given that they are my songs, that they are my scripts and that it's my body, voice and guitar. - Again, it doesn't matter what criminal charges might be brought against me: the truth is that those don't affect my IP rights or any other human rights that I may have. I haven't been charged or convicted, which suggests their evidence is weak.

My defence goes something like this: hypergraphia is a symptom of bipolar disorder, as is a loss of judgement and impulsive oversharing. Hence, my behaviour regarding Chloe is an outgrowth of my mental illness, but also caused by people leading me to believe that she was spying on me. That's the catfishing that I refer to. As we've seen, I was willing to stand by many of the statements that I wrote. - By Tuesday, this ceases. Everyone in Wellington that isn't actually my real friend, and particularly those that have kept on telling me to be a guy, aren't welcome in my room. If you're only willing to accept me as a man that sometimes does drag shows, then my answer is simple: you are behind the times and it isn't my responsibility to educate you. I have the right to free expression, and you have the right to tolerate my expression. Any continued pressure to perform or return to VUW after Tuesday will be seen as coercion and that might result in legal action. These aren't empty threats, and in fact they're not threats at all. They're simply statements.
