Hi Nikki - sounds like extremely good suggestions from Shelli. I am totally astonished that "in these days" a professional(?) person could spout such total nonsense!!!!!!!!!!
Seems to me, he has some pretty big "issues" & isn't tremendously healthy himself!
luv ya Nik. PS - hope your friend can consider throwing this garbage into the garbage pail, where it belongs, instead of giving it a place in her own head. xoxoxo K

You also might want to research if he gets any grants for research on PD; if so cc a copy to the funding source.

If not, you might be better off just letting it go and not allowing this "bloke" any more of your time and attention. (Often times, I find it cathartic to write the letter, but wait a while before deciding to send it. More often than not, recently, I decide not to put it through the mail (e-mail or otherwise).
