Hardly surprising that most people have chosen to withdrawn and not add their name to the against list given the 'name and shame' tactics employed.
After all if they do place their names in the list against CH what is the probability that they will turn up in an online blog?

The petition aimed at stopping Christopher Hansard from practicing does not employ any ‘name and shame’ tactics. There is no chance that those who sign will end up on a blog. The only purpose of the petition is to support other legal efforts to stop Christopher Hansard and his abusive practices.

A side benefit is that it inspired Hansard’s supporters to initiate their own petition. Although it does not seem to be deluged with supporters it is interesting in its plea:
‘We, therefore, call on all authorities invested with the responsibility for protecting the public to do just that and investigate the accusations being made presently against Christopher Hansard and invite them to assess his suitability to offer and practice Tibetan Dur Bon healing methods in the hopes that as a member of the public he be left to enjoy his right to practice and continue to serve others.’
So it seems that Hansard’s supporters and detractors both ask the same thing – that he be assessed on his claims and suitability to practice and that the accusations against him be investigated.
Just in case anyone has forgotten the main issues here I would recommend Kurukulla’s excellent summary at page 46. I would also draw your attention back to Cirrus’s comments on page 19, especially this:
‘Rest assured that there are individuals that were closely associated with Christopher Hansard and have first hand knowledge of his gross sexual misconduct, lack of integrity and compassion who are watching this site.
I personally have no fear to tell my story to stop any other woman being abused by him. This cannot continue to happen and he cannot continue to practice. He can not be trusted to be alone with female patients or students. Any medical doctor would be struck off for just one of the incidents I am aware of.’
I would ask anyone reading this forum with experience of any form of abuse from Christopher Hansard to contact:
