WILL THE SOCKPUPPET, PLEASE SPEAK UP (especially for those who nod in agreement without questioning).

So Jane Smith of HPRW and her supporters latest theory (if I understand them right), is that I'm nothing but a real life 'sockpuppet'** for DB, and that he was presumably privately emailing me from the Scottish Borders, comments written by himself, for me to post as William Shears in Brentwood, so giving the appearance that I wasn't and couldn't be him, because we were located 300 miles apart. That being the case, why would I post (as claimed by Jane), comments as "Douglas" from my location (and vice versa); that kind of defeats the object of this elaborate deception, and makes absolutely NO SENSE AT ALL!

There is (possibly) a motif for Douglas pretending to be William Shears, but what possible reason is there for William Shears to pretend to be Douglas?

Have I understood them right?.

Here's what Jane said on Feb.01.2010
"According to Sitemeter, the comments that Douglas Bruton and William Shears left on my blog both came from someone using a BTCentralPlus internet connection, who was based in Edinburgh, using one computer with the IP address 86.131.241.After I pointed this out on my blog Shears commented again, insisting he was not the same person as Bruton. This comment also came from a BTCentralPlus account, but this time one based in Brentwood, Essex, with a different IP address: 217.44.136. At first I thought that I’d made a mistake and was just about to apologise when Bruton commented on my blog again–this time from the same IP address in Brentwood, Essex, which Shears had commented from."

A NEW LOW?
According to Jane's "about me" page, she has worked as a 'researcher'. I do wonder what research she did when she identified me as DB's son? I'm a father of five with five grandchildren; at a guess DB would have had to have been about 10 years old when he fathered me! This latest lie would be laughable if it wasn't so vile. Douglas's real kids do not deserve to be exposed to unwarranted scrutiny from the worst elements of Jane's followers, and for her to publicly, and needlessly drag them into her vendetta against him is low; even for her. If she removes/amends her comment, I'm more than happy to edit this post.

I have PM'd Jane giving her re-searchable facts regarding Douglas's family, that clearly indicate that I am NOT his son. That was a week ago and her post has still not been removed or amended by her. So in-spite of being in possession of easily checkable facts, Jane prefers to maintain a blatant lie; NOTHING NEW THERE THEN.
