Gijs Bleijenberg retires

[Spring]

Sometimes, in order to move forward, we have to wait until the old men die (or retire). One down and how many to go?

SOC: I dont think he's 'down' yet. I think he will harm us more during his retirement.

Retirement means he can say anything he likes without worrying about tenure, etc, so he could be really nasty if that is his bent
but
he will also lack the "clout" of his associations.

and hey one can always hope
he could more easily REPENT and apologize since he has less peer pressure.
But I won't hold my breath

why is it these older doctors etc are the ones who are the worst?
class, background, time period or what??

As a goodbye present, Bleijenberg gave us a Dutch guideline for CFS where his version of CBT/GET is the only option, medical examination is forbidden, and no care or social benefits will be provided if we don't accept this. All generously funded by the Dutch ministry of health.

Where does it specifically say those things? I glanced through the document at http://www.diliguide.nl/document/3435 but my Dutch isn't great.

Argh! What!? Noooooooo! How? Can't he just retire quietly to the Riviera? Surely he has enough ill-gotten gains to do it..? [sobbing disconsolately]
