The History of IPR
You are welcome to form your own opinion of course. But here is my take: This post has been prompted by recent events at IPR. Evidently it has been purchased by Professor George Phillies of Massachusetts. But I have not seen any formal announcement or acknowledgment of this. Soon I noticed the comment procedure/moderation had changed and my comments were not being passed on to publication. i.e. I was banned from commenting unceremoniously. Then I noticed the search engine was no longer working. This was how I accessed the PLAS Open Thread and the PLAS ll Open Thread. Then I noticed the Archives was missing. This is where the two PLAS Open Threads are stored.
It seems to me that I and PLAS are under suppressive attack.
I hereby request that everyone boycott IPR in protest. And transfer all functions usually done at IPR to IPR-X OR The PLAS Place.
For further information go to IPR-X Open Thread.
