I just spent some time yesterday reading through Tostee's posts on bbf, pretty far back, comparing his descriptions of certain events at different times, comparing these to what witnesses are saying about those same events now. Watching him trip himself up a couple times when he can't keep his story straight.
So today I am looking at his words, as he manhandles a terrified, legless-drunk woman out of the balcony door, after choking and threatening her, "This is all being recorded" as possibly yet another way of terrorising her. "
This is all being recorded you know" ie, HE is the one in control of the information, and thus HE has the power over how both his behaviour and the situation will be perceived, if she goes to the cops or.. whatever happens next.
Maybe that's why he didn't simply delete it all. I don't believe he kept is as a means of exonerating himself - he didn't hand the recordings in, did he, he left them in a car for the cops to find as 'evidence' - I think he left them there for the cops to find because he'd made damn sure Warriena was going to come out of whatever happened that night looking as bad as possible, and himself as blameless as possible. Even before she died. Keeping in mind, that I'm not sure her death was part of the original plan.
And I look at his words, "I'm the one who's injured, you don't have a mark", etc, (though I don't think this is true - for a reason) - how often he mentions her 'beating him up' and 'ow' (never mind Warriena saying 'that really hurt my vagina..' hey) and I can't help seeing a script. Like I wonder now, what he *did* to that girl who attacked him at the nightclub (while he was, in his own words, "sipping water" - so much for arguments that he never did any such thing..) , to get her so very angry in the first place. Of course, he claims he has "no idea"... before proclaiming he somehow wants to "make her life hell" and asks the forum how to proceed. I'm pretty sure he already had a handle on that, personally. He states that he only did not retaliate because he likes the club - if it happened at a different venue,
he would've stomped her face in.

This is followed by him whining about being banned from all major clubs in the area, a couple months later:

Then this bizarre post, where he tries to enlist misc as his personal army to troll a female bar-tender's FB page:
