JULY, 2018:
Apparently the impostor first impersonated Ralph Dave Westfall. Ralph noticed him in July:

Ralph was on to him, so perhaps that's why the following month the impostor switched to impersonating me.
AUGUST, 2018:
The earliest cases I found of the impostor impersonating me were in August, 2018, and for those comments the impostor entered MY web site as his web site:
https://wattsupwiththat.com/2018/08/05/new-york-times-lies-about-trump-lies/#comment-2422052 (to Andy May and/or Anthony Watts)
https://wattsupwiththat.com/2018/08/05/new-york-times-lies-about-trump-lies/#comment-2422186 (to Tom Abbot)
https://wattsupwiththat.com/2018/08/05/new-york-times-lies-about-trump-lies/#comment-2422186 (to Andy May)
https://wattsupwiththat.com/2018/08/07/failed-prognostications-of-climate-alarm/#comment-2423918 (to David Middleton)
After August he ceased bothering to enter my website as his website, when impersonating me.
SEPTEMBER, 2018:

(impostor comment was addressed to to Allan MacRae -- but the other
comment on that article by "Dave Burton" really was by me. This appears
to be the only case in which the impostor and I both commented on the
same article.) https://wattsupwiththat.com/2018/11/10/uah-arctic-temperature-profile/#comment-2513844 (to Kip Hansen) https://wattsupwiththat.com/2018/11/10/al-gore-claims-wind-and-solar-are-now-cheaper-than-coal/#comment-2513948 (to Alan MacRae) https://wattsupwiththat.com/2018/11/14/climate-change-causing-southeast-asia-rice-harvests-to-dwindle-not/#comment-2517176 (to commieBob) https://wattsupwiththat.com/2018/11/14/calculating-global-temperature-anomaly/#comment-2519541 (to MarkW) https://wattsupwiththat.com/2018/11/15/newsworthy-items/#comment-2519269 (relatively innocuous, but not written by me) https://wattsupwiththat.com/2018/11/17/scientists-determine-that-the-worst-year-in-human-history-was-536-ad/#comment-2521469 (to Steve Mosher, bashing Pat Frank) https://wattsupwiththat.com/2018/11/17/the-picasso-problem/#comment-2522312 (to Mike Jonas) https://wattsupwiththat.com/2018/11/20/the-state-of-shale-gas-and-oil-in-the-u-s-a-today/#comment-2524463 (to Steve Heins) https://wattsupwiththat.com/2018/11/23/new-ceres-data/#comment-2529890 (to Willis Eschenbach) https://wattsupwiththat.com/2018/11/27/cagw-a-snarl-word/#comment-2535185 (just one comment on this article, and it is uncharacteristically innocuous, but I didn't write it) It appears that in December the mods got wise to him. They
apparently deleted a comment by the impostor impersonating me, in late
December, but quoted by RACookPE1978, here: ...and another one the next day, to which ShanghaiDan replied here: This is my comment (in January) where I finally noticed the
impostor, though I didn't at first realize it was malicious; the mods
deleted his comments: and this is when the mods told me how it was being handled: ...and, ever since, WUWT has moderated my comments, to filter out the forgeries: That's all I've found on WUWT, though I might have missed a few. So, if "Dave Burton" offended you with obnoxious remarks on WUWT between
about August, 2018, and January, 2019, please forgive me, because that was not me. Also, what appears to be the same person has been posting as
"Dave Burton"
(Disqus ID DaveBurton72)
on breitbart.com,
and probably other places, also since July 2018. That's not me, either.
