-Removed-No, I understand you must keep your narrative going, but fantasy seems your forte, not mine. Your "reality" is far, far more "fantastical" than mine.
My only mistake (apparently) is telling the truth.
Your problem is that you think popularity is a zero-sum game. You think it comes through tearing down others. It only takes self-realization, instead of self-idealization. Add a dose of determinism and subtract your vanity, and success is assured. Give it a try sometime.
@fmf saidYou've heard "other versions" and you've blown them off.
You asked me. And I answered. Do you have some other version of what happened?
And sorry, but your "answering" is always, always, done through your lens of self-promotion. This makes what you say suspect. Too bad you've never been able to see that.
Nothing more needs to be said.
@suzianne saidI disagree with this characterization of me defending myself. I have read every post in that thread "A Trifling Matter" and the number of untrue things about me and the making of the radio programme that were asserted there or things were asserted - plucked out of thin air - by people that had no idea what they were talking about - but not corrected - is bizarre and creepy. I have read every post in that thread "A Trifling Matter". My response to it cannot be described as "self-promotion".
And sorry, but your "answering" is always, always, done through your lens of self-promotion.
@fmf saidThe blame? All of it. You failed to get my permission. You used a childish spoonerism of my real name (immediately identifiable as me) not a pseudonym. (And at that time had 'only' done that with my stories). You did this out of spite after we fell out in the forums. It was broadcast on live radio where my family were listening and who were confused why you 'couldn't even get my name right.' You did it because you were begrudgingly broadcasting my stories having already put in the effort of recording them and wanting to fill the show. Messing with my name was the only thing you had left to poke me with. Have you forgotten all this or pushed it to the back of your memory? You did the one thing you shouldn't do as the host of a show, betray the trust of one of the contributors.
How much of the blame lies with me for someone going behind my back and getting the radio programmes taken down? None. A message asking me to change the pseudonym would have resulted in the pseudonym being changed.
Oh, and you had ignored my 2 previous attempts to message you. Why on Earth would I waste my time messaging you again? In life I am slow to act, but when I do act I'm all in, no half measures. I ignored it the first time you changed my name, but when it happened again the following week, I acted decisively. I would do so again.
