Logic

Are there any philosophers who deny that the principle of explosion is a valid principle while at the same time both being not accepting of a paraconsistent logic and being accepting of the Law of Non Contradiction?

According to the article on paraconsistent logic at the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy: "A logical consequence relation, ⊨, is said to be paraconsistent if it is not explosive." So denying explosion just is accepting a paraconsistent logic.
