That should be good. Simon Singh, of course, is the author who was sued in recent years for libel by the British Chiropractic Association for calling certain bogus chiropractic practices bogus. The suit was unsuccessful, but it cost Singh a small fortune to fight it. However, the damage done to the reputation of the BCA by bloggers, skeptics, scientists, doctors, and others who came to Singh's defense was so immense that many now have forgotten that the 'B' in 'BCA' was originally meant to stand for 'British.'
