Line 837:
Your criticism of Prof Wessely has nothing to do with his research, which extensively studies physiological abnormalities in CFS (e.g. PMID 8550954, PMID 9000046, PMID 9046989, PMID 9438265, PMID 9989716, PMID 10450194, PMID 11282703, PMID 11304857, PMID 11422420, PMID 11722149, PMID 12165094, PMID 14738459!, PMID 15016575, PMID 16868267). Rather, it is a continuous attempt to show that he holds on to particular views - something that is simply not borne out by the extensive evidence available. I'm getting rather tired of having to continuously explain what is wrong with sources you have thrown in. As I noted on [[Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard|WP:BLP/N]], the Burne source is the best one we have. Anything else (Mar, Hooper, various Martin Walker critiques) just serves as an example of the pitch of the antagonism Prof Wessely has received. But Burne already does that, most dramatically, giving good airtime to Malcolm Hooper. [[User:Jfdwolff|JFW]] | [[User_talk:Jfdwolff|<small>T@lk</small>]] 20:54, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
:Could we please pay more attention to accuracy? The Burne article dates from March 30, 2002, not 2004 - it refers extensively to the publication of the CMO's Report, published in 2002 - that also anchors it firmly to early 2002. It predates the Countess of Mar. The language used in this Burne article (feuds, battles, attack, infighting, vendetta) is certainly not dispassionate - it is very emotive, the tone sarcastic and the comments about the Hooper/Williams document, patronising, it reads like an opinion piece. It gives a misleading impression that there is now common ground. It fails to acknowledge the fact that although Wessely and colleagues undertake and accept funding for research into physiological abnormalities in ME/CFS that they still promulgate the "faulty illness belief" model as evidenced by the article [http://www.kcl.ac.uk/projects/cfs/patients/physiology.html PHYSIOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME] Explaining the symptoms of CFS: An article explaining the physiological basis of some of the more common, and some of the more obscure, symptoms that trouble CFS sufferers, by Dr Mary Burgess, which is still up on the KCL CFS website. Also cf Wessely's recent comments in the Unum 2007 Report. [[User:MEagenda|MEagenda]] 21:39, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
