Sharing a genuine belief about you in a private club is neither lying or unreasonable. I saw you do that on a daily basis in your own club and at no stage did it occur to me to cut and paste the dialogue to the persons concerned.

I know sir, I know.

If you don't want to do it in an RHP handbags style, then why were programmes suspended if the complaint was as trivial as depicted here?

Because the complaint was framed in a way that made it sound like an existential threat to the radio station, nevermind just the radio programme: it was supposedly an "attack" being made in public, that someone at their radio station was trying ridicule and humiliate one of the contributors to the show, that it was affecting someone's health, it was causing insomnia, it was causing difficulties in his workplace, that it was causing family and friends to be upset. There were spurious and paranoid accusations about there being spiteful or vengeful motivations for using pseudonyms etc.

When the board of directors heard that the take-down request was the result of Ghost of a Duke being in a huff about something that happened on a message board and that he hadn't even contacted me to query the use of the pseudonym or give me a different one ~ when they realized that he had not even contacted me directly first before going to them ~ all four shows were reinstated immediately.

I think you are deflecting from the question in the second paragraph which is asked in the spirit of genuine curiosity and does address the content. Why does the radio station's reaction seem disproportionate to the content as laid out by you?

That's quite a story. Perhaps enter the prose contest next year.

I was able to send audios showing the original recording where my name was used correctly and the one where it had been retrospectively altered.

How many times do you need this to be answered?

I appreciate you calling me successful. That warms the cockles of my heart.

It doesn't alter the fact that I was sharing a genuine belief based on your weird symbiotic relationship with FMF.

Now, I'm off to eat hot cross buns.
