Silly stuff they say about WDP
YouTube link to radio segment
I’ve been thinking about some of the ridiculous stuff that has been said about Pelley here in Asheville. Sometimes by people I know.
Here is a radio segment a friend of a friend did a few years ago.
This is the guy who said Pelley was capturing ghosts to generate electricity… kinda like a Ghostbusters powerplant I guess. Anyway, pure over-the-top foolishness, but a good example of how Pelley’s name survives in the most silly portrayals.
I know this guy. I asked him what the heck he was talking about. He said he read one of Pelley’s books and that is the way he understood it. Comic book level nonsense.
Unfounded denigration and distortion -- anyone with non-mainstream ideas will be subjected to this by their mouth-breathing opponents. It's all a big show to scare off the weak-willed. The downside of this lazy tactic is that those who are not scared off quickly realize the scam that is afoot and then ignore the opponents entirely. The opposition would have done better to give a reasoned critique of their target. Characterizing WDP as "just another thug" tells us to ignore everything else the writer has to say on the subject.
The paranormal tour guide types who are such cowards that they have to denigrate subjects they're interested in as "wacky and left field" make my skin crawl. God forbid they hold something other than a high status opinion. The pop-paranormal culture is an albatross hanging from the neck of true esoteric historians. I assume this article coming after the LARPing one is no coincidence, as the floating through walls gimmick made it into the Kaiserreich mod.
