The BCSE And Leeds University

The BCSE seeks to present itself as the voice of respectable academic scientists, and portrays its opponents as uncredentialed crackpots.

In reality, the BCSE are generally uncredentialed crackpots, and respectable academics wouldn't touch it with a barge-pole. The BCSE's website is full of bluff and nonsense. An incident in late 2006 involving Leeds University allowed this to be shown up. The same incident also showed up several other features of the BCSE's unpleasant mode of operation, particularly as the BCSE sought to bluff and tell outright lies about the situation afterwards. I have the documented evidence so that you can make your own mind up.

• The main story in which I revealed the evidence that the BCSE had been threatened with legal action by Leeds University over the contents of its website.
• What are the BCSE Hiding? - this is a prelude to the main story, in which I put the BCSE's bluff to the test. The BCSE used to have a section on its website, claiming that I couldn't be trusted because I never checked my stories with them for their take on it. So, before breaking the big story that a prominent university had threatened the BCSE with legal action, I asked them for their side. The response? Silence - and that section on their website disappeared!!
• Criticism Of The BCSE - Not Welcome ! - this only mentions the Leeds University tangentially, mentioning rather the BCSE's desperate efforts to prevent me from making any more exposes as it attempted to block my access to its website. (The measure they employed was so crude that it blocked all NTL customers across an area of many hundreds of square miles).
