A few months ago I closed this blog down to public viewing in the hope that Douglas Bruton and William Shears* would in return remove at least some of the blog posts they've written about this whole affair: they direct lots of anger and insults towards people who were involved in the original plagiarism scandals and its fall out, but who aren't involved in my blog. But those unpleasant posts are still up on both blogs.
So I've relucantly decided to open this blog up again in an attempt to provide a little balance to Douglas's views. If you're curious about the posts I object to, here are some links for you to read. Every single blog post I've linked to includes a dig against someone who supported and encouraged Douglas Bruton before his plagiarism was uncovered. I'm sure there are other blog posts I could have linked to but think this is more than enough to be going on with.

*When I checked my Sitemeter statistics they showed that Douglas Bruton and William Shears shared a couple of IP addresses, and Jane Smith's statistics showed the same. They have both vehemently denied having done so, but it's interesting to note that in the comments to this blog post Jonathan Pinnock states that Douglas seems to share an IP address with another commenter he's encountered.
