http://forums.phoenixrising.me/index.php?threads/simon-wessely-quotes.21025/I believe PR has a thread going on regarding what Sir Simon said over the years.

Actually, this bunch is extremely thin-skinned.It is best to let David Tuller and James Coyne argue with him in my opinion. They are both in powerful position to argue and defend what they wrote and defend us patients.
