I'm a parent who has been to law school and often acts like a kid.
Therefore I should either be banned from your entire site, or left to decide
for myself what parts of your site to browse.

Furthermore, although I often read "articles," engage in "advocacy," and use
"resources," I NEVER use those words in a Google search.  I would suggest a
site organized around whatever subdivisions flow logically from your site's
mission.  (Which is what?)  ;-)
