An excerpt:
We seem to be watching an inordinately messy case of online identity crisis, a descent into wishful thinking so pronounced it attains the status of comedy.Royce Myers, Kevin Randle, Mac Tonnies, Tim Binnall, Alfred Lehmberg, David Biedny, yours truly, and myriad others behind the scenes, all seem to have the same opinion about poor Kal K. Korff.
As Mac notes:
The latest additions to Korff's blog take the form of vaguely threatening messages from sexy female Czech journalists (who, so far as I can determine, are curiously invisible to Google). The alarming thing is that you know it's Korff writing this stuff -- but what's more disconcerting is the possibility that he expects anyone to take it seriously.Does anyone take him seriously anymore? Leave a comment and let me know.
In the meantime, I consider it a good deed to pay him some attention.
Kind of like helping a stray cat.

Did anyone ever take him seriously?
You know, I was refraining from commenting regarding this weird tango, but have since chaned my mind.
It is evident from Mr. Korff's writings that he is currently of a disturbed mind. I don't know what set him off, but I think it's prudent not to accept his invitation of a fight, exactly what he is apparantly trying to evoke.
Best not to enable or exhasperbate any current psychosis or mental illness he may be suffering from.
One straightforward sentence or two, defending/explaining your side followed by a complete ignoring of any further 'outbursts' from Mr. Korff is truly all that is needed. Any more round-a-bouts will only cause curious on-lookers to suspect that some of Mr. Korff's allegations may, in fact, be true.
Just my humble opinion,

Lesley:
Yes, particularly where Meier was / is concerned. The shame is that Korff's current wackiness will undercut, at least to some, the decent work he did on Meier. Fortunately, others have shown Meier to be a fraud, so the case doesn't depend on Korff.
Jason:
I agree, which is why I don't really reference Korff's specific "claims" about me. But sometimes you just have to point out how ridiculous a person is. Sadly, he isn't alone in the weird world of ufology / ufoology.
Best regards,
Paul
¿5 hundred books?
I knew of only one guy who wrote more than 500 books. The name is Isaac Asimov. He lived and wrote until age 72 y., when he died.
He was writing (and reading) almost ALL the time, and he started writing much younger than Korff. I am even ashamed about now being comparing Korff to Asimov.
I feel sorry about Korff. I once thought he was a serious skeptic. Or at least the more serious that is possible to reach when being a skeptic.
I think even you (Paul) take KKK too seriously. KKK apparently has a mental problem -- his delusions of grandeur and his chronic lying are symptomatic. I've known people like him and (surprisingly) many (attractive) women find his type charming and charismatic. I've always enjoyed having fun with his type because they are such great storytellers and could easily be goaded into telling very entertaining tale tales. All you have to do is lead them on with a story of your own and they will reciprocate by trying to "oneupmanship" your story. For example, at my last workplace, "Mike" said he went to Flagstaff, AZ for the weekend. I asked if anything interesting happened and he said not a thing. Wanting to hear him tell a good UFO story, I told him that I went to Flagstaff a few weekends ago and saw a UFO. All of a sudden so did he. I thought I had missing time -- he too saw an UFO, and then his motorcycle stalled and he had to pull over. Next thing he knew, he fell asleep on his motorcycle for no reason, and woke up the next day with missing time and triangular scars on his body. It was hilarious listening to him make up all these stories and being serious about his every obviously believe words, acting as if he believed his own story tales as much as we disbelieved them. What kind of story tales could you get out of KKK? Why don't you stop taking him so seriously and have a little fun for all of us to enjoy?
KKK is, indeed, a clown shoe.
From what I can gather he was somewhat relevant a few years back. Maybe his fall from relevance has left him in his present zany mindset.
Is it "a work", Paul ? Of course it is, only KKK is bad worker. The esoteric and professional wrestling are practically sister worlds. Korff reminds me of Lanny Poffo's "The Genius". Which will sound paradoxical, unless you know the character.
Tim:
I would have said Mr. Perfect (RIP, Curt Hennig), but Poffo's the Genius is a great comparison!

Could this be one topic most of Ufology is in agreement about?

Your Imperial Oddness:
In broad strokes, yes, I think so, although people will still differ as to whether Korff was right about particular issues (i.e. Meier, Roswell, whatever). But as for the man, I can't think of many people who defend him, much less who actually like him.
Paul
I think it would be grand to lock he and Bekjord into a chat room for a few hours. I'd pay money to see that!
Hey,... come to think of it. I have a chat room!
