Then let's use it. And stop arguing with Wessely. It is a huge waste of time. We write essays, rebuttals, cartoons.... May make us feel good, or vindicated, but solves nothing. He gives his viewpoint, we give ours. Round and round it goes. <br /><br />If we have ME then call and diagnose it as ME. Not CFS. Or the more nonsensical and confusing ME/CFS. Let's stop joining and supporting groups that go along with this and have some credible advocacy, not tethered to CFS.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01316284870104429837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704399741044225276.post-32727252121155486652011-09-01T23:20:59.503-07:002011-09-01T23:20:59.503-07:00Thank you Wild Rest- It's pretty unbelievable ...Thank you Wild Rest- It's pretty unbelievable what is happening.

People double down on bad ideas again and again rather than be wrong, especially if they have made a mistake of consequence. It would be funny if the consequences weren't so destuctive. Once again, a psychiatrist has mastered a destructive element of human impulse, and projected it onto his victims.<br />MSDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704399741044225276.post-87944002105441258062011-08-31T19:01:06.441-07:002011-08-31T19:01:06.441-07:00I hadn't connected the dots between the Concen...I hadn't connected the dots between the Concensus and the media campaign.
