From Colchester to Sulawesi

From what I know of Phil I like him. I wish him well. I really hope people listen to his work and it goes well. I like his posting style.

Ghost of a Duke is right.
You started off by introducing some information to a very fine radio broadcast.

Then you trashed your own thread by alienating people because you think they dislike you.

One wonders if there is merit in the possibility that some people here may not like you.

I have listened to the show and found it interesting. There were no thumbs down from Dublin.

@relentless-red said
I intensely dislike your posting style. I suspect that a lot of others do as well and hence the red thumbs. I won't go into detail as to why because I don't believe you would listen.

@relentless-red said
On one occasion I have tried to point out to you quite sincerely that if you repaired your relationship with this community you would be more successful at promoting your radio show here.

@relentless-red said
I am sure you have no interest in whether I listen or whether a handful of people who click on thumbs listen. Perhaps you value your posting here sufficiently that you really don't care if it turns people off. That's your right to chose.

What does this have to do with From Colchester to Sulawesi though, or Bill's Big Bag of Onions, for that matter?

@relentless-red said
I now only respond to you because you insist on misrepresenting me. I intend to generally ignore your posts because I really can't be bothered with the numerous responses that I will get in return. You will basically misrepresent me in a series of posts whilst attacking those strawmen.

You don't believe peoples' experiences of a person posting in a forum effects their desires to listen to their work?Are you an advocate of all publicity is good publicity?

I wish Phil well and I hope people listen to his work. I hope you post in a style that will increase the numbers from this community who want to listen to it, but if you convince yourself that I am the problem and that there is nothing you need to change in your posting style towards members of this forum community then that is your choice, but it is also the real problem.

Let's just re-set the thread and pretend the toxic second post didn't happen. Here's the OP:

A new series of Bill's Big Bag of Onions has begun: episode one of series 5 was aired in the UK last night.

This series features a serialized, almost-entirely-true story about a British couple upping sticks in middle England, in mid-life, and settling in a remote part of Indonesia where they start a business.

A finely crafted piece of episodic writing by none other than Indonesia Phil and his better half.

Relentless Red seems to have suggested that it is you and I who are "trashing" our own radio show because he finds our posting unimpressive.

If you dislike Indonesia Phil and Hakima and divegeester and me, feel free to give it a miss.

This quote is a quick example of misrepresentation.
