I thought that Doctor standing alone isn't generally prohibited in these statutes, but only "doctor of medicine", "doctor of podiatry" etc.
The practice is boorish, but I think it's only actually illegal in a handful of states.

Agreed. Addressing oneself as "Doctor" for a non-MD doctorate or "Esquire" for anything ever are the "Maestro" of the self-important egghead world. Either ought to be instant ground for perpetual social ostracism and both conspicuous and behind-the-back snickering.
That said, I got a big kick out of sending my 'baby' cousin her first letter with "Esq." after her name. She was thrilled.
