    I suspect she operates under the "principle" If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit.
    Reality won't cooperate with their psychological nonsense so distort reality to fit the lies.

    Amazing what a person will believe, or deny, when their status, reputation, power, and especially income depend on it.

    When i came to read this reply i read the thread title as Trial By Terror, which is probably more accurate :emoji_face_palm:

    I know I digress, but somebody once enlightened me to the fact that some men have their lower ribs removed so they can bend double more easily ... leave it to you to guess why :sick: :muted:.

    I have two teenage sons who come home from school every day, go upstairs, lie down and fall asleep. Absolutely nothing to do with ME. My 15 year old only started doing this a couple of weeks ago. Now he's just like his big brother, who does it most days. Teenagers innit?

    I sometimes wonder how many of the alleged cases of ME are merely particular presentations of the metamorphosis of the teenager.

    I think Charles still represents MEA on the CMRC but this may have been a smaller meeting. In fact it seems to have been so small that only Holgate and Crawley were there, bar some media people.

    Hopefully Charles will log in here soon enough. He said he was having a rest from social media but I think he will be very pleased with the Biobank session yesterday.

    ? But that's correct in the UK per my 1984 Concise Oxford. It's a 'c' in the US.

    Practise is a verb. Practice is a noun. I would advise that you take my advice on this.

    I'm not sure the spelling is what matters. I think the suggestion was that someone was practising as in practising the piano rather than practising medicine. Maybe not quite up to speed yet.

    She'd better close her medical practice then.

    I am more and more baffled why Miss Crawley is allowed to continue doing "research". It must be political reasons. There are so many flaws in her studies, it's so obviously bad I realize as I keep on getting information. I wonder if this might hold for most of psychology "research", and therefore nobody complains (apart from us activistis and bio-medical fake-scientists).

    I am also still shocked that the Lightning Process was state funded. In fact, it's a scandal the more I think about it. How was that possible?!

    He certainly deserves a rest after gruelling rounds of Q and A at Unrest around the country!

    I can only speak from looking back as a teenager, but it would have been the worst time in my life to get some accurate data by asking me questions that involve self awareness, mood, fatigue, etc. It's almost like society already noticed this and gave the phenomenon a name.

    I think that parental ratings would be much more accurate to see if there is any correlation with the trialists.
