Other than Gerald Bradford, you mean. If I recall correctly, it was during this tour that Dr. Peterson received a particularly distressing message via e-mail.
Maybe Dan is working on a conspiracy theory involving Bradford and Everybody Wang Chung.

Actually, it would also have to include; John Dehlin; Dr Scratch; An unknown General Authority (or two); the whole of the Maxwell Institute (DCP admitted on Facebook that nobody from there speaks to him anymore); All of Mormon Discussions; Dr Jorgen; and on....and on....and on.....

Dr P could also have called the CoB, explained the situation, and asked if they would mind checking the list of tour participants against their records of serving Bishops.
That way there was no need to ask a Bishop to do him a favour. The person at CoB who received the request could then act on it, or not, according to the rules governing such requests.
I suspect that this scenario would have made for a good Bob Newhart-style phone conversation.

That's probably why it took so long for Everybody Wang Chung to float to the top. He was distracted about other things.

So why bother after so long?
Exactly.

Any ideas? I mean, it is one thing to say he was distracted at the time, but then that does not really explain why he is dredging up this business now. He might have just been satisfied that things did not go worse than they did at the time, bad as they were.

I think he forgot about it, until he was reading somewhere and saw it. Then he wondered... and wondered. Sometimes that wondering stuff can cause all sorts of problems.

I think it bothered him that John Dehlin and Gregory L. Smith had stepped into the limelight, pushing him into the shadows of obscurity. So he made a calculated post that he knew would attract attention.
He needed a drama, at which he was at the centre, to make sure he was Victim Number 1 still.

LOL. It would have been best to drop it.
