The call to arms from James Graham seems reasonable. This is another Fasthosts type story. I’m going to look into it in more depth later today but a scientist having a crack at homeopathy strikes me as normal behaviour for a scientist. Homeopaths hiring a lawyer to shut him up does not.

it’s extremely reasonable.
the thing about homeopathy is, there are lots of situations where a harmless placebo would be a perfectly reasonable treatment option, but bullshit needs to be peddled ethically and responsibly. the society of homeopaths have been caught out endorsing HIV quackery, failing to act on lifethreatening malaria quackery, and they have behaved in an entirely infantile and sinister fashion over Dr Lewis of quackometer expressing perfectly reasonable concerns.
Totally reasonable, and also totally counterproductive. The banned page, “The Gentle Art of Homeopathic Killings”, has now been reproduced in full on at least 62 other sites all over the world. And if you do a Google search for “The Society of Homeopaths”, six of the first ten links on the first page now point to “The Gentle Art of Homeopathic Killings”.
It would be funny if it were not so dangerous.
