The smears get increasingly serious as PZ Myers crosses a new line
In recent weeks, since I defended Richard Dawkins and the atheist movement from misrepresentations and smears in mainstream media articles, I have become the target of similar smears on various blogs. You can read details here.
Now PZ Myers has crossed a new line by publicly alleging that I am defending rapists (that’s rapists, plural) because certain people comment on my blog. The desensitisation process is ratcheting along, with increasingly serious allegations now being casually made as if they were normal discourse.
Given the limit of hours in a day, I’m not going to follow every Gish Gallop of increasingly bizarre smears that are now targeted at me, particularly given the flexibility of interpretation that some people grant themselves in using phrases like providing a haven for harassers and misogynists.
But I will not let go unanswered the serious and unambiguous smear that I am defending rapists, made publicly by a prominent atheist and academic. I ask PZ to withdraw it and apologise. I also include some recent advice from PZ himself about how to properly apologise.

last year Pz Accused Michael Shermer of rape based on hearsay accounts. instead of reporting it to the police. he post the allegations on his blog. Shermer and his lawyer sent him a cease and desist letter. after that PZ went silent. this year he is doing it again accusing another man of defending rapists and using his blog to provide a haven for rapists. instead of reporting to the police he decides to post them online.
