All the legal action I've taken against newspapers has had a massively positive effect on my life and achieved exactly what I wanted, which is privacy and non-harassment.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've been getting pulled from newspapers for my entire career.
The newspapers were always against me in the beginning because they thought I was depriving people of what they wanted.
I need privacy. I would think that because what I do makes a lot of people happy that I might deserve a little bit of respect in return. Instead, the papers try to drag me off my pedestal.

I think journalism is a great way to do public service, to have an impact on your community.
