Our leadership looks forward to clarifying their position further as to why they choose to remain anonymous in coming days. We look forward to continuing to offer the M.E. a viable alternative for internet advocacy moving forward . We have a bunch of innovative ideas coming for how we can make a positive impact for this community and are always seeking the collaboration of others in the community with similar objectives. Also, despite the protests of a few extremist elements here, I can assure you that our leadership remains committed to protecting the identity of those involved with our project moving forward.
@Sasha we know you have close actions with the #MEAction Network, so people can feel free to draw their own conclusions as to why you are attempting to discredit an emerging M.E. internet advocacy organization.
Presumably you mean 'close connections' rather than 'close actions' with #MEAction Network but in fact I have no such connections. I've made several posts in the past few days supporting their new initiative, which I think is an excellent one, but then I've made many, many posts over the years here on PR making posts supporting what I consider to be good initiatives. If I see a good thing, I try to promote it.
Here are the threads I've started just in the last week or so, and as you can see, I've supported and promoted a lot of initiatives:

And if you look back over the articles that I've written for Phoenix Rising (mostly in 2013) you'll see that I've supported many other new ventures.
I wasn't trying to discredit your organisation, @redviper - I was trying to help you save it. Your letter had given the impression that you were making a personal attack on someone and I had hoped that you were going to be able to explain yourself and to distance those views from Advocating4ME.
I'm completely baffled by your reference to 'extremist elements'.
However, I think you've now communicated the values of your organisation pretty clearly.
