@ghost-of-a-duke saidYou should have contacted me. At the very least you should have threatened to write the letter so I could rectify the situation. Instead, you did the most vindictive thing you could think of. Using humorous pseudonyms was not "vindictive" in any way. If you didn't like the humour, you only had to send a PM.
He exploited the one tiny bit of power he had and disrespected the work I had freely submitted in good faith. - He went to great lengths to ensure the first time I heard them was live on air.
@ghost-of-a-duke saidComplained to me. So I could take action. I didn't ignore any emails that required any action on my part.
Complained to who? You ignored my 2 previous emails.
@fmf saidAt that point, I had no remaining trust in you.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidI thought the spoonerized name was funny. I thought you'd find it funny too. I didn't spoonerize it because "we were not on good terms". Don't be so silly. I spoonerized it because I was squeezing two of your Onions into the same show and I wanted there to be 12 different names [there were only 8 different writers] and I handled it with benign humour.
At a time we were not on good terms, why didn't you think it a good idea to ask consent to spoonerize my name on live radio?
@ghost-of-a-duke saidSo you decided to stab everyone involved in the show in the back even though no one had done anything even remotely as spiteful as that to you?
At that point, I had no remaining trust in you.
@ghost-of-a-duke saidYou should have PM'd me and said don't use the spoonerized name, use such and such a name.
The irony is, had you asked for consent (and your reasons been genuine) I would have had no issue with an appropriate pseudonym being used. (Obviously not the one chosen).
@fmf said'Funny' when done without letting me know what you were doing, and when I had friends and family listening who were as perplexed as I was? That kind of funny?

I seldom let people I don't know into my real world. You betrayed that trust.

@fmf saidI asked for my stories to be removed and withdrew consent for further stories to be included. Nothing more. I had no desire for the show to be taken off the air, and indeed continued to listen (due to Phil's stories) for a while afterwards.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidYes. I thought it was funny. And thought you would too.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidWas this the reason you sent the backstabbing letter?
