Hard to imagine something that will age as badly as putting scientific integrity and Simon Wessely in the same sentence. Other than moral courage, of course. Oh, boy. I've heard of paper tigers but is there such a thing as a paper reputation? One that is microns-deep and ready to burst into flames at the slightest spark?

I am very much looking for that blaze. It won't make up for all the suffering he has caused but bad reputations wildly outlive even the strongest badly-deserved reputations.
