  • I’ve thought about doing something similar but didn’t have the resources. Some of you know I was kicked out rather unfairly of a student club, actually I was kicked out twice, appealed once got back in then kicked out again, never been able to prove it but always believed it was essentially the same accusation.

    one of my best friends was failing her exams, on course to loose her full scholarship, repeat the year or maybe worse get kicked out of uni. I was known as the weirdo with a lewd sense of humour. In fairness if I had the lewdest sense of humour in the group hers must have been a close runner up. It’s why we were such good friends.

    so you can imagine what we used to talk about in person and online. It’s what probably made it so easy for her. When she needed an excuse for missing most of her lectures and failing her exams instead saying she was drinking her self unconscious with her boyfriend most afternoons she claimed it was the crushing stress from my supposed months of harassment that kept her from class and from focusing.

    Show a few private messages from social media out of context, get a few of her mates to testify that I was known for telling the odd dirty joke (which in fairness I was) and bam instant credibility. Add in a compleat lack of due process from the student Union and you get a witch hunt.

    that’s my story. I’ve often thought about telling it. But it wouldn’t fit in a 5-10 minute info video. I considered fictionalising it in a novel but it wouldn’t have the same impact. An animated story maybe. 30-60 minutes long if certain things are compressed and the order of events tweaked to help things fit in a shorter narrative. I could do it now, now the court case is over. Shame I lack the money / talent to actually make an animation happen.

    shame because it might be rather healing. At least having people see it and getting a sense that people finally saw the whole thing from my point of view might be quite healing.
