===Accusations of harassment=== *No arrests or convictions<ref>{{Cite web | url = http://www.virology.ws/2016/02/01/trial-by-error-continued-a-few-words-about-harassment/ | title = Trial By Error, Continued: A Few Words About “Harassment” | last = Tuller | first = David | authorlink = David Tuller | date = Feb 1, 2016 | website = [[Virology blog]]|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=2019-01-21}}</ref> * Potential harassment and "wild speculations" about threats to researchers were unsuccessful arguments used in [[Queen Mary University of London]]'s failed attempt to deny access to the [[PACE trial]] data at the 2015 tribunal. The tribunal judgement stated that the only evidence of harassment provided was a single heckler in a single seminar.<ref name="FirstTierTribunal2015">{{Cite news | title = First-tier tribunal: Information Rights Appeal EA/2015/0269. | url = https://informationrights.decisions.tribunals.gov.uk//DBFiles/Decision/i1854/Queen%20Mary%20University%20of%20London%20EA-2015-0269%20(12-8-16).PDF | page = 40 | last = Kennedy | first = Brian | last2 = Stephenson | first2 = Darryl | last3 = Watson | first3 = Nigel|quote=The evidence of <nowiki>[expert witness]</nowiki> Professor Anderson that third parties could not identify participants from the information alone and that, when pressed, he said that the chance of an "activist" being able to discover information that would lead to individual identification was remote, it was clear that his assessment of activist behaviour was, in our view, grossly exaggerated and the only actual evidence was that an individual at a seminar had heckled Professor Chalder. The identity of those questioning the research, who had signed an open letter or supported it, was impressive.}}</ref> *Mistreatment of patients, including forced harmful treatment of children, is not mentioned. E.g., the story of "B", aged 8,<ref name="StoryofB">{{cite web | title = The Story of B - Children with ME.
