I don't think anyone here said such a thing. This idea might have come from one of my responses, where I replied to this quote:

Quote:
If they have enough clients working strictly 9-5 and those are the hours they like, then I don't see why that is obnoxious.
I had responded to this quote with the notion that this contradicts what their ethics state, so some may see it as obnoxious for that reason. I had stated that a therapist should at least consider the population they treat when making business decisions rather than only that their needs are met, quoting ethics that said putting clients first (not my idea-quoting from their ideals). It somehow turned into that I was saying that any therapist who only work 9-5 is unethical, or that they should sacrifice their jobs over their families.

I understand my post may have lacked clarity, but I came back and clarified at least 4 times that this is not my position, but the conversation about what no one said keeps rolling as people keep cheering it on.
