[b]Let's explore that. Your initial explanation for the name change was that you wanted to give the impression more writers were involved in the show. You stated that clearly.

Let's assume a contributor was called Dave Perry. Which of the following 2 name changes would lead listeners to believe it was a different contributor:

1 Michael Green (Pseudonym)
2. Pave Derry (Spoo ...[text shortened]... ot the easiest course of action, but instead the most spiteful course of action you could think of?

Why did you not ask for consent or make me aware in advance? Are you not able to utilizes PMs or emails?

An honest answer if you don't mind. (You've repeatedly dodged this).

Clearly not.

I thought what I did was fine. I thought it was just a light-hearted spoonerism. There was no "malice" in it. When you realized I had made the edit and you didn't like it, why didn't you PM me about it? Why did you make the decision to do the most malicious and destructive thing at your disposal? Was it a case of "Don't mess with the Ghost?"

And the issue was only brought up in the Chamber after I was made aware of the falsehoods FMF was sharing in the WhatsUp group. It was the only platform I had as a right to reply (as a number of the same members were in both groups).

Nothing false was said in the WhatsApp group about what you had done. You talk about your "right of reply". Reply to whom? You held court in private and let people not involved in the show speculate in all manner of ridiculous ways and did not correct any of them. I read it all.

Again, at a time when we had fallen out at RHP and the show was suddenly not available for preview, why did you make no attempt whatsoever to gain my consent or make me aware of your intentions?

Would that have not been a normal thing to do? Do you regret not doing so?

I didn't feel the need. I thought what I did was light-hearted.

Ditto.

I don't think I did anything immoral. I wasn't trying to harm you in any way. Given the malicious action you decided to take, no, I don't regret what happened. I shouldn't have let you anywhere near my family and friends. That I now know

Ditto.

Ditto what? Nothing false was said about you in the WhatsApp group. The same can't be said for that thread in your club.

At a time when we were not on good terms you didn't have the smarts to think it was probably a good idea to let me know your intentions or ask my consent, something you did later with other contributors?

Had you sent me a PM or email explaining what you were up to, I would have had no issue with a genuine pseudonym, separate from my real name. That would have been the end of it.

Nonsense. What you wrote was entirely one sided and far from the truth. You alone were the cause of everything that transpired.

You should have sent me a PM about it and it could have been solved in 5 minutes. Instead, you chose to do the most malicious thing you could think of.

Nothing false was said about you in the WhatsApp group. Meanwhile, you made no effort to correct the ludicrous things that were said in your club about what had happened.

Again, ditto. You wilfully (and I believe maliciously) allowed myself and my family to hear the spoonerism of my name on live radio without any kind of forewarning, resulting in much confusion. As I've shared before, one family member simply said, 'they couldn't even get your name right.'

The experience negated anything positive gain from my involvement.
