David Tuller, die een aantal spraakmakende artikelen over ME/CVS en PACE publiceerde,
werd op een conferentie door Esther Crawley, vurig pleitbezorger van het (bio)psychosociale model
en CGT/GET, in het openbaar beschuldigd van lasterlijke blogs (zie onderstaande afbeelding).
David Tuller bezocht onlangs een bezoek aan een lezing van Esther Crawley en benaderde haar na afloop om
haar te vragen naar haar laster-claim en de haar ''interpretatie' van de resulaten van PACE.

rial By Error: My Brief Encounter with Professor Crawley
20 November 2017
By David Tuller, DrPH
At noon last Friday, at the University of Exeter's Mood Disorders Centre,
Professor Esther Crawley gave a talk called
"What is new in paediatric CFS/ME research."
When I saw a notice about the event the day before,
I felt it might be my one chance to ask her directly
about her concerns regarding my work and her accusation that I was writing "libellous blogs."

I started asking about the bogus 22 percent "recovery" figure.
She interrupted and asked in a tone of some dismay
if I'd come all this way just to see her talk.
I told her that I was already in the U.K., and that I had friends in Exeter.
Sensing that my time for asking questions might be cut off,
I dropped the 22 percent issue and
asked why she had accused me of libel and then failed to explain herself.
At that point, Professor Crawley indicated that she was going to stop the talk;
I guess she doesn't mind attacking critics from the podium
but cannot tolerate their presence in her audience.
