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.
This board has at minimum 3 threads per week on DCP and his crazy antics. I'd find it mildly interesting as well, if I were in his shoes.

The guy is a fruitcake. Now I am debating about whether or not I should post these links and ask him point-blank if he is Matthew Brown.
Did you notice that after Helorum posted his first post with all its plugs for Brown's work, another poster asked him about one of the books, thanked him for the insight, and then included a winking smiley-face? I think it's pretty obvious this is Brown. It's just a matter of whether you want to "out" him or not.
Yeah. Well I gave the links and asked him if he was Brown, but he hasn't been back since.

Interesting developments, indeed.
Several years ago (while I was still a TBM apologist for FAIR) I emailed Matthew B. Brown an example of a pentagram that I had found while searching through the library, of the inverted pentagram being used in a Latin Missal as the Bethlehem star. Not long afterwards, I met Brown at a FAIR conference and started talking about the Christian use of the pentagram. In a somewhat hushed voice, he pulled me aside and said that he had something to show me. He said that he had found a BEAUTIFUL example of a pentagram being used by Christians... and he pulled out an envelope. What image did he have in it??? You guessed it! THE ONE THAT I HAD TOLD HIM ABOUT IN THE EMAIL!!! My best friend (who was attending the conference with me) was there too. We had quite the laugh about it during our drive home.
Wait. Wait.. WAIT... Just one second. A Mormon being a liar and a deceiver? I mean... It's just so atypical. I know, I know, I'm the one with a problem...
If I recall correctly Helorum is a rather sporadic poster. So it may be that he/she is avoiding the thread, or it may be that he/she is just doing business as usual. Hard to say. We'll have to keep our eyes peeled.

He's been back, and posted remarks on other threads.
