Before I was an adult being covertly persecuted for writing absurdist humor about a totalitarian church and a high profile rape suspect, I was a middle-schooler being chided by adults for responding to mockery from privileged kids, with insults that were better written than theirs.

So now, it makes sense that downtown theater artists are getting incentive to try to make me falsely appear unprofessional for responding gracefully yet firmly to their pre-meditated psychological warfare campaign-a tired narrative that my haters are ready and resigned to accept.
