I agree. I have had the misfortune of dealing with one such entity
they are very rare and that was a different type of list altogether
(to give you an idea of how bad it was, there was a Salon article
about this entity, and her attack on my list and a couple others).

I'm all for the full public warning and banning of any crazy Dr.
types, and any posts that get through should remain in the archives.
