(Sorry for clipping the above slightly out of context).
I'm not completely sure it is better to "embrace" it, but I definitely think it better to "acknowledge" it (I'm slightly uncomfortable with the implications carried with the connotation of "embrace"... perhaps I need to take my meds). I think that Greg Kearney has the right idea in his approach. Acknowledge the "borrowing," and then go to deeper questions (such as “why”).

Don't tell anyone but MAD no longer has this site blocked for linking purposes. I could follow the link above straight way. I'm sure it has something to do with their upgrade.

The guy is a fruitcake. Now I am debating with myself about whether or not I should post these links and ask him point-blank if he is Matthew Brown.
I say go for it. Maybe PM first. See what you can find out.
*edit, too late!

As you were.

I think it makes them look silly to block it, like they have something to hide. Go ahead and re-block it. I know where the enter key is on my computer so it is no skin off my nose.

99 out of 100 Bishops probably haven't heard of this board. (They are much too busy rolling around in their piles of tithing money.) It's a little teensy weensy drop in the ocean of the information super highway.

Undoubtedly. However, people like Dr. Peterson can leave this board, but they can't leave it alone.
