I suspect if Gary Barlow had his name changed on one of his songs without his knowledge or consent he probably wouldn't be too happy about it. - But that of course wouldn't happen with a reputable broadcaster.

That's kind of irrelevant when it comes to trust. I gave my stories freely and only required they be handled with respect. Was that too much to ask?

You only had to contact me the first time you realized that there were two of your stories in the show and that a humorous pseudonym had been used and the situation could have been rectified with an edit that would've taken 10 seconds and the following - corrected - show could have been uploaded to the station's system in 30 seconds. But you didn't. Instead, you went into a whole backstabbing mode.

Any reason you didn't notify me of your intent or ask for consent? (Would have taken 10 seconds).

You should have said something to me before you sent a letter purporting to be from someone working for a local government in London.

I thought the pseudonym was funny and the whole ethos of the people who write Onions for the show is good natured and fun. It's not a radio programme that takes itself seriously. If you thought you were being victimized in some way, you should have said.

You should have complained before you sent the backstabbing letter. My use of a humorous pseudonym cannot, in any sense whatsoever, be described as "backstabbing:.

Ideal?

It was the very basic requirement of respect. - What he did instead was send me the stories that we due to be broadcast and then change the names afterwards. - This was the reason the platform agreed to splice out my stories, as they could compare the two and see where the names had been changed.

You honestly believe there was no spite in what FMF did? That he didn't begrudge broadcasting my stories after we had fallen out and having already had them narrated? 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.

The names voiced on the versions you heard were done by me and my sister for archiving purposes. Until a few days before the first show, we were only going to voice the titles and Bill did that. Then there would be the names at the end of the show. But at the last moment we decided to voice the names with the titles before each Onion and, as there was more than one Onion by 2-3 people, humorous pseudonyms were used. When you realized this had happened you should have said something and not just blindsided everybody involved in the show with your backstabbing letter.

Of course there wasn't. Now, that letter you sent, THAT was spiteful.

Complained to who? You ignored my 2 previous emails.

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).
