Philistine? A sockpuppet with a sense of humour. I don't suppose his friend Hugh Jarse has left another five star review?

I read that as "syntactic Marge" and wondered who she was, we already have @MEMarge, I wondered if another Marge had joined.

Reminds me of evolutionary psychology - anyone can make up anything and make it sound plausible.

Preprint means not reviewed doesn't it? And I've just seen that Amy Proal is one of the authors. I formed an impression of her scientific rigour on this thread: https://www.s4me.info/threads/hypothesis-piece-by-amy-proal-a-microbiologist-with-me-cfs.134/ Where amongst other things she...

Perhaps they mean a brick wall?

This is true. Unfortunately the group of people who are not used to the language includes the recipients and intended audience of their writings. I would wager that there are only two people on the planet who are used to "the language", and that they are both members of DwME. Some of those...

Well as long as taking your mask off fixed the problem, that's all that matters.

Are you sure it was the tv? Maybe it was your voice that sounded strangely muffled.

Very enjoyable.

It's not the first time we've had a self-appointed ME advocate charging off in their own way without reference to anyone else, ignoring other advocates, organisations and patients with decades of experience when they try to engage with them. It seems that when it comes to ME anyone can set...

“Ask yourself whether you trust us..” Making it an issue of trust is always a red flag for me.

That's ridiculous, what lazy person would click on that? And nobody else would need to.

First half-minute buzzwords - chakra, gratitude, divine love. Unfortunately the spread of this kind of harmful nonsense does indeed seem to be unstoppable.

What are we supposed to do on an ME-improving holiday anyway? Rest? We are all doing that at home and being told off for it. Or does it have to be activity holidays, basically GET at our own expense? Or is it the thinking of happy thoughts whilst on holiday that will improve things?

I'm waiting for the SMC (Simon's Mendacious Cronies?) to widen the definition of "harrassment" to include amazon reviews. If they carry on like this they'll soon be claiming that "harrassment" includes a polite clearing of the throat.

That's funny because my ME started proper after I came down with an infection caught on holiday. I'm not going on another one.

Actually it could be said of Fiona Fox and her gang that "First the came for the communists", then they went for everyone else: https://www.monbiot.com/2003/12/09/invasion-of-the-entryists/ And accusing groups they set their sights on of being Nazis is a tactic they've been using for the last...

Is that an encouraging admission?

What I have learnt from fellow ME sufferers in Germany who have been subjected to the temporary setback of being sent to this type of clinic, is that it's best to avoid all medical and other authorities as much as possible when it comes to ME, so I've basically been in hiding for the last 8...
