Explain yourself, Iain
Take a look at this comment that was published on Iain Dale's website 4 hours ago:

Can you kill someone again please?
I'm sure they'd willingly sacrifice themselves to save the rest of us from being bored by you.
Try Tim Ireland, he's up for it.

By sheer coincidence, this comment was made just a few minutes after I sent this email to Iain:

Did Iain leave this charming comment himself?
Well, let me put it this way...
Guido 2.0 - Paul Staines is a fact-murderer!: When you rely heavily on sock-puppets to do your dirty work for you and they appear at just the right time with startling regularity, you only have yourself to blame when people suspect that you're a sock-puppeting loser who spends a great deal of time anonymously shouting down opponents and/or patting yourself on the back.
UPDATE (3:25pm) - Iain has ignored every email about this, but has just deleted the offending comment.

It's great stuff though, isn't it? I wonder if someone in Labour central office is keeping notes on Iain's blog.

Should he ever secure a nomination to stand for Parliament, Labour will have a field day trawling his blog. - Tim said...

And if he engages in the type of retro-moderation that Paul Staines is famous for, he'll still have the Wayback machine to deal with. Oh, and any backups I have, which I'll be more than happy to share.
