(I'll check back for your answer tomorrow.)
A few suggestions if I might.
This is not a board where a believing Mormon would go to shore up his/her faith. If you want to post here you need to have pretty thick skin and as a believing member you should expect some very strong challenges to what you believe. The moderation allows people to speak their minds for the most part. Most of us prefer to have the ability to express our opinions and understand that means we allow others to do the same. There are other boards that offer a more sheltered forum for believing LDS members.
If this area of the board is offensive to you but you are still interested in open discussion on LDS issues, we do have a Celestial Forum where personal attacks and "offensive posts" are more heavily moderated. That forum has a lot less going on in it.
As far as believing members go we have some (BC Space, J Green, Droopy, Will (though I am not always sure what exactly Will believes) and others. I do not consider my self a believing member but do still regard the Church organization in a positive light.
Regarding Chris Smith, I'll let you do a little more research about his contributions to LDS discussions, but if one were to judge by behavior and attitude you might think he is LDS (or at least what LDS seem to expect from other LDS people.)
