Ideally, I would like RR mentioned, if not necessarily linked to, but I can also understand the precarious line the mods have to walk, since Trimpey does have his own ideas. I know it's not easy to separate the two, but the thing is, Trimpey didn't invent AVRT. He learned it from those who self-recovered, which is why it feels natural, and even he admits this.

I'm not going to push the issue, since I personally don't entirely mind the "rebel" grassroots populist persona that RR entails. To be honest, if RR were a part of the addiction treatment industry, it simply wouldn't be as interesting, but perhaps a link to the AVRT discussion thread might be a good compromise?
