The boycott

Was probably the best activism idea I had. Essentially, I wasn't going to concerts anyway, but when I formally called it a boycott, it ended up having a huge effect. Now, it's like I've been protesting without doing anything. All those classical music people thought that I'd simply kowtow to their plans, but they've been proven wrong. As have the theatre dorks. Barbara might like acting, but I hate it, and I hate y'all. Journalists and politicians are (surprisingly) more human than the lot of you, and that's entirely because Steve and Tory promised you jobs that I didn't deliver, hence why so many of the film professionals sided against me. - Now you've been defeated, you badly want to use my IP, and you have to be two things: 1. genuinely apologetic, 2. willing to pay me tens of thousands to say sorry. VUW should settle for a five-figure sum, or else the uni itself is at risk. Do they really want it to be front-page news that they blackmailed a former student?
