Some of you may noticed that someone on scienceblogs is going out of their way to say untrue things about me … it’s a transparent ploy to get me to link to them, I think, and an attempt to ruin my reputation.

It’s marginally amusing, not something I’ll every use again, and you can get the full joke just from the promotional web page.
