In America, it's generally considered crass to go by "Doctor X" unless you're a medical doctor or clinical psychologist. It's somewhat more accepted in some of the hard sciences and archaeology (and some of the branches of anthropology and folklore), but on the whole, not common. Needless to say,

On the contrary, it's redundant when used in combination with the title "Doctor," since that is the title associated with the degree. Dr. Stephen Flowers is ambiguous, Stephen Flowers, Ph.D. makes it clear that he has an academic doctorate, but Dr. Stephen Flowers, Ph.D. is just gilding the

In a few paragraphs the name Thorsson is used rather than Flowers. I understand this is his pen name and propose that for consistency only the name Flowers. Unless in quotations about him. I am going just change it I don't think anyone should mind if anyone does we can hash it out here.

The lede has two similar statements. I've removed one. One says he is a proponent of paganism, etc. The next says he is an advocate paganism, etc. I have removed this a second time.

That's news to me; I can't speak for 1972; I only know he was not one of those who left the CoS to form the ToS in 1975. Will check before making any edits. Thanks.
