eta: don't think Countrygirls link works anyway(?)
Absolutely. The closer exposure of their misdeeds gets, the more desperate, blatant, and obvious their flounderings become. These sort of people thrive by lurking in the deep shadows as they do their string pulling. When they start to reveal themselves in their efforts to manipulate, it's a sure sign they know they are in deep trouble.They really must be scared their empires will crumble at last.
And hopefully this itself will be exposed in due course.The strength of certain people's conflict of interest becomes very clear when attempts are made to block publication of a series of very reasonable and well argued papers dealing with quality in science.
For a moment I considered obscuring it, but this web page is in the public domain anyway.
Nothing too borderline sociopathic - we don't want him pressing his panic button or fleeing to Afghanistan again
. Actually, the 'threats' aren't so sweet as I know when personally involved with exposing his shenanigans in a magazine some years ago. The threats involved legal action and being sued for publishing an accurate report about his unsavoury and harmful antics. The person he silenced was then award an honorary fellowship in order to work at King's. Threats and bribery won the day.
I think that is spot on.Ultimately Wessely will be condemned by his own words and actions, of which there is no shortage on record, much of it on the formal record where it cannot be so easily altered.
Once the people he has kicked feel safe to speak out, I predict that there will be a flood of stories about the real Simon Wessely, including from within medicine.

The time may be coming where things like this could be revisited.He seems a horror. Everything from here on down is a (sorry) fairly long passage from Corporate Collusion?, by Malcolm Hooper, Eileen Marshall and Margaret Williams, 2007. It ends with the journalist, Margaret Cook, losing her position:
...
Wessely demanded a retraction of Dr Cook’s article and an apology, and under the onslaught of his threats, The Scotsman capitulated and the article was withdrawn. On 5th January 2004 The Scotsman afforded Wessely the right of reply to Dr Cook and stated: “On 6th October we published an article on the controversial subject of chronic fatigue syndrome. The article contained assertions concerning Professor Simon Wessely of King’s College, London. We accept that these assertions were without foundation”, and Dr Margaret Cook was sacked by The Scotsman from her position as regular columnist.

I was just looking at that... did you see the page CFS Personal Story.
I think he is trying to rewrite history..
Yep. The time for accountability is getting closer.The time may be coming where things like this could be revisited.
