Notice from blog writer

The entire contents of these 2 blogs for Eric Davidson have been removed but saved so that reinstatement is possible. This notice is by the supporter who had set up these blogs for Eric, and made hours out of limited time at public internet sites to type up their contents, and the petitions on Care2 too.

In 14 years of troubles Eric had found nobody else before to do this. I have only been in contact with him for 5 months. But Eric has treated me in exactly the same way as he accuses malpractising services of treating him, jumping to assumptions and fixedly assuming guilt and not listening. This concerns a person who I know who Eric needs some confidential information to be kept from, and this person because of interests in conflict with Eric's campaign needs not to be included in discussing and deciding how Eric's campaign should proceed.

The person concerned has expressed total understanding of the reasons for this and not tried to intrude into the campaign at all. But ever since I reported this fact back to Eric from an occasion where that person was present, Eric has been accusing that I gave the person all his latest info in breach of confidentiality. He has never cited any evidence of this except assumption that as the social occasion itself happened this breach must have happened too. Yet I had never undertaken to socially reject the person, who I was with on that group occasion for other reasons nothing to do with Eric. On claimed grounds that it would give him psychological closure, Eric unilaterally demanded confessions to this, and to having plotted against him with the person ever since the time of a contact between them some time ago that had a bad outcome. Yet to my offence at this and talk of the Spanish Inquisition he denied doing this and painted me as overreacting. Though then it looked like we would patch up, he persisted in putting unevidenced accusations in his letters, of really being on the person's side and including them in his campaign. When Eric runs his own campaign totally in control of who he includes.

I showed openness by letting him grille the facts' details and kept itemising factually how the accusations were impossible. Now he has simply renewed the accusation of plotting and has accused that my ability to sustain itemising the facts against it constitutes "protesting too much" and proves me guilty. This when it was his questioning I needed to answer and he had kept challenging me to answer to various details of my and the person's words at the time of the failed content and to find any inocuous interpretations of the person's more recent understanding words, did this in a hostile manner of treating as evidence of guilt that I had not already come up with these answers spontaneously before I knew what he was asking, yet to succeed in answering him when asked counts as "protesting too much"! How dare any man who repeats the same language against the system at such high frequency, who has written 609 letters to the press in 3 years and claimed they were all sent to a whole list of recipient, and who in them has frequently said "I am the total innocent in all this", accuse anyone else of protesting too much!! I have seen Eric's own style of writing about his trouble come across as exactly that to several folks who had not shared my system aware inclination, as a critic of mental health systems, to give him a supportive response. This is what I have got for it in only 5 months.

Eric directed that all his posts here should carry the same set of regular headings as his letters always do. These include "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." What do you make of that? It clearly includes injustice from himself, that has let down his whole campaign. After putting such ceaseless effort into writing that social services should not predecide to fix on believing what files and doctors say and refuse to listen to you, how can he possibly then determine to fix on believing predecided personal accusations, to his own supporter and refuse to listen to the other person and call by rude psychological names any other response than confession? Found wanting by his own standards.



This first posted Jun 4, was removed again Jun 6 when Eric asked a rational question about the contact with the person - it was then fair to give him a chance to listen to the answer. He did not listen to the answer or engage with its content in any way, it changed nothing. Swapping of aggrieved messages about fair ways to treat each other have not resulted in any dropping of the plot accusations, only in a brick wall of ego and recriminatory abandoning of his newly created campaign. So this is reposted Jun 17.
