Additionally, there's a soft limit to how negative you can be in the comments, where you can be downvoted. Submissions can only be flagged, not downvoted, and if you flag more than two submissions a day, your flag button is disabled. (It looks like it still works, but your flags no longer affect the ranking of a submission)
But note the news update to OP detailing the slap on the wrist sanctions applied to the three Harvard doctors...
“Massachusetts General Hospital Discloses Sanctions against Three Psychiatrists for Violating Ethics Guidelines”, July 1, 2011: The Boston Business Journal said today that three psychiatrists have been sanctioned for failing to adequately report seven-figure payments they received from drug companies.
Drs. Joseph Biederman, Thomas Spencer and Timothy Wilens disclosed the disciplinary actions against them in a note to colleagues. According to a copy of the note made public upon request by the hospital, the three doctors:
• must refrain from “all industry-sponsored outside activities” for one year
• for two years after the ban ends, must obtain permission from Mass. General and Harvard Medical School before engaging in any industry-sponsored, paid outside activities and then must report back afterward
• must undergo certain training
• face delays before being considered for “promotion or advancement.”

3.) He printed a AR-15 lower receiver, which is the part, under US law, considered a "firearm". The high pressure components (barrel, bolt) are all made from conventional manufacturing processes, using steel.
Lowers are typically made out of aluminum, but they don't really experience any great stresses, so it's perfectly possible to make them out of plastic. (There's a number of commercial lowers made out of fiberglass: http://www.mdshooters.com/showthread.php?t=65134 (I'd link directly to the manufacturer's site, but it seems they're better at making guns than they are at securing web servers)) As he notes, people have even carved them from wood.
