They have to simply apologise for being wrong.


1. I'm not attracted to children; this should've been a no-brainer.


2. Haven't intentionally flashed my dick at people, and doubt that I did so.


3. Not a violent person. However, I want all those closet cases and 'nice' people that have never experienced domestic violence to fuck off, or let me show them how it feels.


4. Not a threat to Chloe's safety. As for the UN event last year, I bought a ticket and noticed several people using phone cameras, plus one other person with a DSLR. It was a public lecture, so it's hardly surprising that I filmed it.


5. Not a partially verbal autistic person. I'm highly educated and intelligent.


6. Have a very busy day as a writer and filmmaker, so I'm not just sitting on the dole.


7. It's supposedly illegal to discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation, so they have no business denying me opportunities based on perceptions of my sex or gender. 8. Right or wrong, I said what I said about Chloe and being held involuntarily under the Mental Health Act. I haven't been forced to correct those statements, which tells me that they're probably true. However, if they're untrue, we come to a question of ethics: I'm supposed to correct the record because you're unhappy with how I portrayed your friend/co-leader, yet I'm not supposed to demand that these statements need to be corrected? Talk about a double standard...
