Here's the article to let him speak for himself:

I was thinking of this bit: "It was brought to my attention that people had been discussing, via the internet, where I lived. My home is easily identifiable. Photographs of it had been posted online. The police became involved, and visited my flat to assess how secure it was. My telephone number and address were placed on a ''high-alert’’ rapid response list."
Pretty much everyone's address has been posted on-line, and so have photos of them. If you want someone's address, it's not normally hard to find. The police do tend to become involved if you contact them. Being placed on a high-alert rapid response list is the equivalent of a doctor's reassuring placebo.
The whole piece sounded like drama about nothing and failed to recognise that his initial article [now somewhat corrected] had falsely claimed PACE showed CBT and GET led to a recovery rate of 30%. Descend to quackery and you're going to piss patients off.
Someone posted tweets from him on twitter complaining about being bullied, when the tweets were just pointing out his factual errors. It was just laughable.
Stuff like that does make me feel more instinctively dismissive of concerns about ME terrorism.
