I don't understand this vitriolic outpouring, because there is a disclaimer -- equivalent, I think, to informed consent documents -- when registering for this site.
What I really don't understand, though, is what you want out of all this? Do you want the site to close down? This site is a good resource for a lot of people, it contains a lot of good information in the form of links, the bulletin boards are a great source of information, support, and entertainment for a lot of people. I don't understand how that can be a bad thing?
Yes, Dr Bob does use this site as part of his research. So what? We were all informed of that when we registered. We're not identified in that research, we agreed in advance that he has copyright over the posts here -- but it's his site. He does the work. He provides the space. That's not a bad trade off, if you ask me. In fact, I'd have to say that we get the best part of this bargain.
What possible purpose does it serve to accuse him of unethical conduct?
