As this is WP I can't give you one sentence, but this is my best shot:
QUOTE(Me)
- Simon Wessely is a very controversial adviser to the UK government on the subject of ME/CFS who spins the line that the syndrome is psychosomatic
- Patient groups disagree and have their own medical advisers
- Wessely is targeted on another site by the many unrelated CFS sufferers who hate his guts
- From that Wessley then goes to WP to blame Angela Kennedy (who was editing Wikipedia) for the criticisms of him that appear in his own biography, claiming that Angela Kennedy was somehow involved in the offsite attacks.
- Angela Kennedy, leading advocate for CFSyndrome patients in the UK, whose own daughter is seriously ill, had nothing to do with these off-site incidents.
- JzG appears and not only sides with Wessely's people but agitates further against the already falsely accused Kennedy to get her banned. Making up all manner of further false claims about Kennedy.
- Jimbo buys the slur and gives the go ahead
- Angela now has a banned tag on her user page without any recourse, due process or judicial review.
- Her daughter is still seriously ill.
Here's Angela Kennedy's summary where she describes a pattern of lies and defamation made by JzG.
EDIT: Just above Angela's statement, another respected patient advocate describes JzG's actions as "inflammatory and there is no basis whatsoever for any such implication, and any such implication would be false". ADDITIONAL MATERIAL : JzG gives his account of events on his own wiki
here. This all sounds very reasonable from his point of view, as you might imagine. But there's a major flaw from the start. As is Guy's way, he has entered into a dispute where he has no idea of the wider picture. And judging by his remarks, he certainly has no concept of the consensus of patient groups, who make up a majority of opinions on what is still a controversial and little understood syndrome. He's obviously never spoken to a long term ME sufferer, nor made any efforts to understand the history of the condition. If he had, he'd realise how controversial Wessley's position is, how it flies in the face of years of patient's testimonies and how sufferers are now furious that Wessley has maneuvered himself into a government advisory role while pushing untested theories that the syndrome is psychosomatic.
Instead, JzG suddenly sees a few sufferers adding blatant anti-Wessley material, sees them as "enemies of the Wiki" and begins tracking down anyone who shows up with a view that differs from the already
extremely controversial view pushed by Wessley. JzG begins "exchanging a few emails" with Wessley, and has now made up his mind. Those who wish to add material critical of Wessley's position "think Wessely is the Antichrist". Guy now believes the "distinction between mental and physical illness is largely spurious" and again according to Guy, the patient groups reject Wessley's therapy techniques "on ideological grounds".
JzG is hence now an active participant in the debate with his own POV. Along come more patient groups, including Angela Kennedy. To Guy, they are all now "enemies of the Wiki" who are wrong about the world. And it doesn't matter if these groups have documentation to support their claims such as
this, they can just fuck off.
Banned.
