> 1. Do you think any poster should be able to go around Dr. Bob to subvert his policies?
The way I see this is, it's OK with me if he posts, but if an outside entity keeps him from doing so, that's out of my hands. And in fact it's also my policy that the site shouldn't be used to facilitate illegal activities:

> 2. You went outside the universe of Psycho Babble in an effort to mess with someone's personal life... If that isn't "uncivil," in the PB meaning, I don't know what is.
I'd consider that uncivil, too, but it's complicated in this case because "consumer-directed broadcast advertisements" by the industry are regulated:

Let's see what happens. I wouldn't assume it'll be a "federal case". And it might even provide some resolution...
