Oh, AAnd... I appreciated the attempt to relate to me emotionally--at first--until it became obvious it came from a place of condescension and misunderstanding. Yes, I was "let-down," and "looked past--" but don't try and use that as leverage against me that's emotionally manipulative as heck. Those are simply aftereffects. Whether or not I happened to feel... idk "overjoyed" at the siuation--would have little bearing over whether or not it was "right.." Which, for me at least, is what this is "all about." To even for a second attempt to manipulate the situation and essentially reverse the narrative so that those who are "whisteblowers" are made out to be some "jilted, spurneed, maniac.." It's a tactic as old as ... the age of tactics is... In other words: This doesn't feel near so much as an attempt at "mediation" as it is much more so, an attempt to "sway me to your side" lol. C'mon... Look dude, I have a graduate degree in psychology, I'm no moron or stranger to this type of shit. Not saying I'm a genius, the best musician ever, or the nicest person always (that's for sure), but I know when somethin's wrong and I felt like luz crossed the line when he chose not to include my video. (Oh, and don't even try that "oh he's so entitled" Well, up until all this, I had no reason to really believe I wasn't just as "entitled" to precisely the same things, supposedly, everyone else who participated in the openmic contest were entitled to--why should I think otherwise? But that was not the reality... Now whether he wants to hide behind race or what--that's just an excuse and a cover being utilized, in my opinion) But either way, NOW he wants to "be cool?" Gimme a break, ya'll... The irony is, if I wouldn't have said any of this shit, I'd still be a "cut on his editing room floor..." Only NOW does he wanna play nice.. C'mon People!! Don't be blind... It's my word against his, ultimately. He just so happens to have a "bigger gang" so to speak lol. And unless, for some odd reason, he and his "posse" (which is what it's starting to appear to as) continue to feel threatened by my mere presence, then I will, kindly be on my way. If anyone happens to like what they hear, or see or whatever, then, be my guest and join me. If not, THAT'S COOL TOO :))
