My mind can go to places my body most certainly will not follow. Does this mean it's my mind's fault? We are in dangerous territory here.

The article is sympathetic to her, but I'm not sure that some parts of her message are very helpful for ME sufferers:

Can I urge everybody to refrain from responding to that assessment of our favourite child-catcher, no matter how strong the temptation might be? We don't want to make ourselves look bad. I shall lead by example.

Pity the #MeToo hashtag is taken, or that we didn't think of it first.

I reckon I might have a go at winning the Maddox Prize next year. All you have to do is make up shit about being a victim. It's not as if anyone ever checks.

If the Guardian were to take it's head from up it's arse it may notice that everyone else (including other media outlets and journalists) has moved on, and that rather than linking to their infamous article of 6 years ago in which they uncritically lapped up the SMC's bullshit, they should bury...

I don't worry about sleeping at night. I often only sleep 5 hours at night. This is because I may have rested so much during the day, but it's not a problem. So over a 24-hour period I get my 7-8 hours rest / sleep, but it's more divided up due to resting in the daytime. I don't even set my...

Here's a thread I started in another life on another forum: http://forums.phoenixrising.me/index.php?threads/advice-please-seeing-a-psychiatrist-on-friday.37735/

I guess you were just talking about small teachers then.

A quick google search shows what Sue used to do before she became the hapless mouthpiece of Saint Esther: Even though this is in the public domain, probably best if we don't concentrate too much on Sue, lest we be accused of God knows what. Is googling someone's name and posting their public...

Yes but I've never thought of this as an ME symptom, I thought it happened to everyone and was a perfectly normal phenomenon. EDIT: It's never happened with a bogroll though.

So putting together what I think we've got so far I would translate Sue Paterson's letter as follows: Fuck you. If by a 'cease and desist' letter you mean a cease and desist letter, we didn't send one. Esther Crawley has told me that someone higher up than her (or maybe by 'senior level'...

Good spot. So the director of legal services at Bristol University is asking David Tuller to define what a "cease and desist letter" is, even though he was only quoting the term their employee, EC, had used. If by ... however ... seems to be implying that the "private and confidential...

Not sure I agree with that. It's not as if there is a shortage of ME sufferers or patient organisations to ask what they think. Maybe my expectations are too high, but if you're having an article published in the New York Times it would be nice to scratch beneath the surface and do a bit of...

Sometimes it's important not to know the facts, so that you can continue to represent your client without having to breach your professional duty not to lie to the court. Unless someone conducts an independent investigation, BU's legal department can only advise on the basis of what EC tells...

Mind you @Lilpink you could have a point:

It's just advertising blurb. The firm I worked for had a nice brochure in which they prided themselves on taking "an economic approach" to dispute resolution, but it didn't stop me sending one of our clients a bill for 800 pounds for the time I'd spent successfully defending a 400 pound claim...

Oh no - you mean someone will be having a quiet high-level word with the S4ME committee? I'll not be served with a non-existent cease and desist letter? OK, I'll amend my post to cover my arse in time-honoured fashion.

It just thinks it's closed. Let's all just keep signing it until it opens again.

Fuck that. I was a lawyer in London for 2 years, they all have to write some kind of blurb. What they actually do is whatever it takes to bill as much as possible (or in an in-house lawyer's case keep their job) whilst covering their arse. It is possible that some in-house lawyers may be hoping...
