A member of ET has made a sneaking complaint to Merseyside Maritime Museum over photographs accompanying this article. Not that any of them are the copyright of the Merseyside Maritime Museum.
This person, whose name is known to me and to the webmaster of this site, regularly parades his opinions here, but did not see fit to raise any query — preferring an attempted "tell-tale" route.
This busybody has previously made skulking ‘disclosures’ to the British Inland Revenue (tax authorities) over people he doesn’t like, and has also penned a disparaging, anonymous online review of a book he didn't read (not any of mine).
As a result of his underhandedness, I received a communication from the MMM today.
The museum now accepts reassurances given by me, and in fact found it perfectly simple to check photographs it holds against those listed in the article under my copyright. None of theirs are featured.
I had previously indicated to them that I possessed a large number of images of Captain Lord. I also own his chart compass, some ephemera, and some better photographs than featured here.
This carping representation to the MMM — sadly unsuccessful for the twaddle-talking complainant — was made by this malicious individual as a result of his being present in the MMM archive reading room in Liverpool last August, when I too was there.
No doubt he noticed my taking photographs of documents in the collection, for which I had full and prior permission, and which proved very useful for later transcription. The complainant was making do with pen and paper.
I make this disclosure because I have no idea what the person involved may be saying in his behind-the-back manner. But these are the facts.
This latest behaviour underlines the very obscurantism to which this person would cling. He would rather suppress than address.
This person can try to skulk in the shadows, but his identity is known and confirmed. I have today written to him, and if need be, he can be made to account for himself in public.
The article, for its part, stays up.
Too bad for the small-minded.
