The LymeNet Terms & Conditions - Do not post doctors names. WHY?

Protecting those who mistreat and do bodily and financial harm to lyme
patients?

"The LymeNet Terms & Conditions contain the following:
You also agree not to post the last name, or the first name, of any
person that treats Lyme disease. Instead, please use the first initial
of the last name only, with the state, but not city. For example, Dr.
B. in NY. This person's contact information should not be displayed on
LymeNet. However, you may email this information. This is to protect
those that treat Lyme and the Lyme community."

I think it's done not so much to protect the obvious LLMDs such as
burrascano but rather to protect the identities of gp docs who treat
intensively when one of their patients has lyme and who work with ILADS
docs in these circumstances but do not make it the focus of their
practice.
