    I don't have a tweeting presence - is there a Bristol Cable twitter thing you could post it to as well?

    You'd like to think so. Time will tell.

    It would be great to make this into an online letter we could all sign like a petition, but I don’t think there’s anything out there. I commented on The latest TedxB fb post and posted on their wall. I’ve shared it on a FB group too.

    It' s my understanding that TEDx is a franchise - perhaps the franchisor organisation should also be sent a copy?

    A Crawley-related petition might be very useful, especially now that she's claiming to be the voice of the ME community :confused: But that would probably have a broader scope than her TEDx talk - covering other bad behavior and bad research practices, and demanding a different remedy (stop funding her FFS).

    It would have to be well worded so as not to constitute " vexatiousness" .
    Apologies if i have just made up a word

    Thanks @Carly Maryhew for such great advocacy work, the references themselves are impressive! Now lets wait and see what they say...if anything.

    Down-voted. Not even watched - just had my dinner.

    Anyone watching this without the background info would think she's the new Mother Teresa.
    The woman deserves an oscar for that performance.

    I think a number of comments have been removed already.

    Agree, looks like change.org is the best platform for open letters/petitions. I’m not sure what the best course of action would be. Im Itching to sign something.

    I left mine last night and it’s still there, so’s the sci4me comment. Wonder if there’s a reason some are removed and not others.

    At a complete guess, it might be those that attack Crawley too vigorously and make what looks like, to the uneducated, extreme claims of her behaviour. It might be useful to look at the claims that are made in the About section of the video, and then counter them.
