Lest you be clods….

Back in the 2000 decade, when I was active (and snarky) on
UFO UpDates, that doyenne of bovine nastiness Wendy Connors wrote that I was
the Prince of Fort Wayne, Indiana’s gay community.
Errol Bruce-Knapp, after receiving chastisements from UFO
Update members, apologized and said that, somehow, Ms. Connors’ remarks slipped
through his usual [fascistic] moderation.
(He called me to personally apologize for the slip-up.)
First off, I’m the Prince of nothing, then or now. Secondly,
I liked the notoriety. It also brought Richard
Hall to my defense, which I appreciated.
Was I outed? Not quite. Persons know from my professional
writings in magazines and the local press papers here that I’m pro-homosexual
but anti-gay, and have explained the dichotomy often in various asides in my
online blogs and writings.
This goes to a comment from Michael Redmond about my casting
John Keel as a closet homosexual, Michael indicating how does that apparent
aspersion affect Mr. Keel’s legacy and writings.
Writing a paper in college for a Psych class – A Psychiatric
Dilemma or Gift from the Gods? – outlined by position about gays and
homosexuals, differentiating the two along psychological parameters.
I won’t go into my explication here – that would be casting
pearls before swine – but I want to make clear that being gay, or Marxist, or
Trumpian, or religiously oriented, or being riddled by any other orientation
affects how one comes to think and present their views if they are inclined to
offer views.
Keel was outside the rampant New York gay community and not
prone to give it an overt sniff, but if he was poised to be unstraight, he’d be
saddled by the oppressive nature of the time and he’d have operated in a vacuum
of suppressed soliloquy: forced to be homosexually repressed and a ufologist on
top of that.
No wonder the man ended up mentally afflicted, or so it
would seem.
A further point I’d like to make, is that my experience(s)
in the UFO community have not been, generally, edifying; that is, what I get
from others has been a basket of whiff and intellectual torpor.
Aside from my brief and often tempered Paul Kimball
contacts, and salubrious dialogue with the academic Bryan Sentes, intermingling
with UFOers hasn’t been particularly rewarding, even though I have to thank
Kevin Randle, Nick Redfern, and Jose Caravaca for opening my mind to new
viewpoints and other pleasures.
Without these few I’d surely think about being gay, just to
obtain some interaction of a heady kind, even with its anti-natural law stigma.
Anyway, when I write that John Keel may have been
homosexual, that’s not a slur by me but an inducement to help understand one
reason why he slipped into apparent dementia.
Why even Wendy Connors attempt to nail me made some UFO
Updaters crazy; not me or Richard Hall (and a few others) but a motley crew of
heterosexual pretenders.
So tread carefully here when you think you understand my
position about anything, lest you be clods….
N.B. Take a gander at Paul Kimball’s Other Side of Truth
offerings in the UpDates time-frame; it will show you why I often laud the guy:
