1 minute in and no red thumbs.

Suzianne is online too, so that’s pretty good going FMF

FMF, the situation you are now in is a difficult one….Or is it?

Let’s work this through with some logic:
- a person has thumbed down every post in this thread
- or multiple people have thumbed down one, or more posts each
- but YOU don't know who it is, and you don’t know why they have thumbed you down
- so in thumbing down without explanation, secretly, anonymously…they are actually disempowering you, neutering you, emasculating you.
- however they might actually like you (unlikely I know) and just hate the radio program
- there is evidence of this as Indonesia Phil, aka Captain Nice Person, has also started receiving multiple red thumbs in a sort of hate-by-association campaign
- Anyway the bottom line is that someone here is more powerful, more courageous and more intelligent than you are, because THEY have figured all this out, and YOU haven’t.

On the other hand it could be online hate in one hand and hand down vinegar-strokes pants in the other.

Maybe anonymous thumbing down is the guise under which a form of Stalinism is going to beset us?

Others ~ and it's Suzianne I have in mind ~ would argue, perhaps, that thumbs down NOT being anonymous would herald the onset of Stalinism.

I didn't know I was aka that! Although I confess that I once called someone a rude name. It's a cracking show anyway.

If Suzianne was making a weekly radio programme with the help of fellow RHP posters, I would listen to it. The same goes for Relentless Red who, we still don't know, may well be listening to the programme every week.

Do they identify with their RHP usernames or is it anonymous?

If what you are asking me to do is to tell you the real names of the RHP posters who contribute to MY programme, I am not going to do so.

@very-musty said
No...

I asked if they identify as their RHP usernames or remain anonymous.

How you turned that into me wanting to know their real names is confusing but I'm sure you're the type to have a false sense of grandeur and I'm sure you put some of your guests on pedestals so they too can have a false sense of grandeur which is common among unskilled writers and "artists" 🙄
