B"H I'm not sure why whack jobs like him and Michael Lerner are referred to as "rabbis." Language is powerful. Let's not encourage them. Let's reveal the truth, by referring to them by their first names, or if we must, then by "Mr....."
Some people have the idea that a certificate of any kind means they're entitled to the respect of a title.
"Theological movements" are not the issue here. I don't refer to certain frum/orthodox/datti "rabbis" as rabbis either,...not if they're whack jobs.

A certain Chabad Shliach once attended the "Rabbis-council" meeting of his city. A Conservative Rabbi pointed to a female Reform Rabbi and asked, "Are you going to call her Rabbi"? The shliach replied, "Why not? I call you Rabbi."

B"H Perhaps he had some "strategic" reason for doing so. Just because a "Chabbad shaliah" does something, doesn't make it right. I hate to be the one to disappoint you.
Nice title graphic you have, BTW.

I just thought you might enjoy the implied put-down of the C Rabbi in what the Shliach said. Read the word "Rabbi" with some irony in the post-title.
