Alex, I think he was just using a play on words, for the well known advertising slogan "Friends don't let friends drive drunk."
I don't think it's an equivalent situation.
I think, as you say, friends sometimes do let friends get blocked, if they think that the friend is choosing to be blocked for philosophical reasons.
And certainly there are times when friends don't have any power to prevent friends from being blocked.
But I think friends can talk to a friend and find out if they are doing what they really believe to be in their best interests. If this is the choice they wish to make.
Dr. Bob knows that people who are blocked have friends here. He certainly knows you do.
I'm way too late for work. But I'll be around later if you want to talk.
