...my concern was that when someone says 'I have been threatened', to then receive repeated comments asking/demanding 'proof' might be perceived as 'protesting too much' especially when those making the announcement are more likely to be taken notice of than any one individual or those attached to this condition.
I think it is the wrong thing to do. I think it will bite 'us' in the collective arse. I think it already had and because of a minority who will not cease and desist - we all catch fleas. We have a PR problem and this ain't bloody helping.
At the risk of being repetitive... I couldn't disagree more strongly with you, Firestormm... You are blaming patients for a problem that is not of our making... You are buying into the media propaganda.
A public comments section is purely that... It invites all types in, and they do not reflect on a community... A comments section in a newspaper cannot define a medical condition... Surely, any thinking person (even Telegraph readers) should be able to work this out for themselves!
