Y Smotyn Du / The Black Spot

I was intrigued to come across the website of someone going by the pseudonym of Buenaventura Durruti (after a Spanish anarchist who resisted the Franco regime). The website is called "smotyn du / black spot".

As I have noted before, the "Black Spot" is a very specific area of southern Ceredigion, the traditional heartland of Unitarianism in Wales. Buenaventura's website actually notes that the "Black Spot" was a derogatory term applied by Methodists towards the local Unitarians.
