Wow! I had no idea there was a Twitter rampage going on against you! I’m so sorry that’s happening. Just know you’ve got a lot of support as well. I love that you are providing a space to discuss mega church culture and that you are not afraid to hold people accountable for their actions! The internet is a scary place full of delusional people. I’m happy you’re a positive voice in all that chaos and I hope this doesn’t discourage you too much!
Thanks Sara - I have a fairly high tolerance - it just sucks this hit the day I got back to New Zealand. It's incredibly sad people like Sean exist here, and are creating a culture I hoped would never make it here.
But also - I will be okay! Tonight will be cathartic.
It does suck! It's super crappy to be "greeted" with that after such a long time away. Hopefully being with your close friends and family in addition to seeing your hard work enjoyed by many will help offset the crappiness. Sending hugs!
I’m so sorry to hear about this David. But, if you have a chance, sink your toes into the sand at the Mount, take a wander around/up Mauao, and eat a Copenhagen cone... you have more fans than foes
Bloody hell, what an absolute cluster fuck to have to deal with on your return home. We're off to see Mister Organ next week at the Light House at Cuba.. Can't wait.
Kia Ora David. Waitakere Ranges resident here. I am also a lawyer. The form that Plunkett posted is valid but old. “WANGANUI” and no te Teo intituling gives it away. Has it been verified as a fake?
The 1971 date the birthdate of the respondent, not the date of the order. My guess is that it’s related to Mister Organ, someone accusing the documentary makers of harassment. Time will tell.
Most are - but I find that minority troubling. Reading what they write, and knowing they are walking around thinking this stuff - it just objectively sucks.
Totally agree about them worrying me but I try and cling to the hope that most people see through their crap. Patting cats is always good for the soul!
Sean Plunket does not have an original idea in his head. Just grinding out rubbish lies same as when they targeted the NZ Prime Minister's partner Clark Gayford.
Please make sure that he's revealed as a lying bastard with these fraudulent documents. Make him apologise.
Actually David there's a whole edition of Webworm awaiting you, homing in on the chosen online personae of Plunket's Twitter followers.
I mean, "Please bring back the good ole New Zealand?" (Did you know you can buy paint in colours like Strong White, White Dove, Extra White, Atrium White, Simply White, All White, Cloud White etc etc?) Or International Symbol for Marriage with a prostrated male figure at the foot of a domineering woman? Or "Cosmic Traveller" ffs.
Talk about a glimpse of the batshit crazy segment of the population.
David I finally got around to listening to Flightless Bird - the maths episode 😂 you poor man.
All those exhausting words got me thinking about my favourite trash show ever. Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. This season Dorit was BURGLARIZED! But my NZ soul cringed, hearing that terrible word. What about being ‘burgled’?? Burgled by a burglar...
I got called out for questioning "pled" in a video. What's wrong with "pleaded"? I asked. Turns out someone said it was used "all the time in courtrooms". I'm guessing courtrooms in the US.
And this is why I hate twitter. What a welcome home :( I really hope you can let this roll off your back and focus on the amazing work that you are doing.

I often wonder why someone sets out to be such a shit stirring prick. Is the goal to try and gain as many followers as you can because you crave attention so much you're willing to blatantly lie to get it?
If home is what this is. I’m an American citizen and sometimes I dream of just changing my name and moving to San Francisco to start a new life as a very bad barista or sommelier.
But I grew up in Porirua. And this is home for me, for now.
Is it terrible that I’m almost excited by the idea that people who love you might now have a cause to mobilise against the likes of Sean Plunket? God he’s a dick.
The Maths Debate showed that you might wield an odd kind of power- you have a strong following who would defend to the death your right to say “maths.” How amazing and weird and cool! What are you gonna do with that?
You are wanted and Sean isn't.
This sentiment is exactly what I came here to convey! I had no such eloquent selection of words so very pleased to plus one this.
thanking all of you x
The deepest and sickest of burns. Consider my cap doffed, sir.
Is “Plunk” the sound made when a shit hits the water?
Yes. Yes it is.

I imagine he and his followers don't care if it's true or not, their just delighted to have another stick to jab you with.
It's like what they say about Republicans: the cruelty is the point.
Hi! Welcome back! You are great! Plunko is not! Hope Webworm Live was great 🤌 See you on the chat when it comes to Android 👋
It won't be far away! The substack team is working away on it very hard! (and it's nice to meet non-Apple users!)
That they have a note up saying as much makes me actually believe it 👍 glad to bring some diversity 📱😅
Love to hear this!
Ditto, I'm an Android user who is keen to chat. Just need a heads-up when it's available.
Me too!!
I’m so sorry to hear about this David. But, if you have a chance, sink your toes into the sand at the Mount, take a wander around/up Mauao, and eat a Copenhagen cone... you have more fans than foes
I highly recommend Patagonia-on-the-go, ice cream cart at Main Beach. Best in the Bay!!
I haven’t been back home to the mount since 2015... hopefully soon. But Patagonia-on-the-go sounds amazing
Bloody hell, what an absolute cluster fuck to have to deal with on your return home. We're off to see Mister Organ next week at the Light House at Cuba.. Can't wait.
Yay! I hope you like it and hope it shines some light on my life over the last few years!

I'm across it and will say more when I can :)
It’s super old! My friend posted a screenshot with the date which is 10 years before David was even born 😂
The 1971 date the birthdate of the respondent, not the date of the order. My guess is that it’s related to Mister Organ, someone accusing the documentary makers of harassment. Time will tell.
Yes, mentioning FVA 2018 is a big clue.
That would be hysterically funny - if it weren't so horrible.
Rachel Stewart (yes that one) said on Twitter that she had contacted the Whanganui court and they advised the documents are fake.
I wish she hadn't blocked me for liking tweets making fun of her :(
Used to like to kill time every so often reading through her wild takes.
Which one ?
Ignore those crazies who follow Plunkett. I reckon the majority of NZers are sane and kind (or at least I cling to that hope!). Welcome home!
Most are - but I find that minority troubling. Reading what they write, and knowing they are walking around thinking this stuff - it just objectively sucks.
OFF TO PAT SOME CATS!

The internet promised all human knowledge to be available at all time, no one mentioned lunatics like Sean Plunket.

Ha! It was a fun, unhinged episode to put together. Glad you dug it and felt a little mad listening!
You guys say "disorientated," so glass houses, my friend!
