As it turns out, I had to close that thread. In spite of my posted Mod Hat advising about the rules against giving medical advice on that forum, his very next post was to give medical advice and say (both to me specifically and to others in general) that all psychiatry is fraud, and believing the Bible is the only "cure." In fact, he said, if we simply "obey God," then "what is termed as mental illness won't happen." It's not the first time a moderator has said something about it to him (I can't say more because of confidentiality) so he's just disregarding the stated rules. I've officially recused myself from further action against him, as I obviously can't be objective about it. But rules are rules, and he is violating them. I need to let the system and my fellow moderators take it from there.
