Is Kal K. Korff letting business get in the way of accountability?

A few days ago I asked why it was not ok for some to call people like Kevin Randle "credible" but it was ok for others. Kal K. Korff has said people referring to this Kevin Randle fellow as credible are committing consumer fraud. Oddly enough the person who runs a radio show called Xzone named Rob McConnel had Kevin Randle as a guest on the show and Rob McConnel said Kevin Randle was credible.

So why does Kal not accuse Rob McConnel of committing consumer fraud as he has with others who have said Kevin Randle is credible?

Kal says he is the "bureau chief" for this Xzone show. Kal is given a regularly scheudled spot each week on the Xzone show. And then I found this and took a picture of it.
This Xzone show sells iPods and it appears that Kal might possibly have a business arrangement with this Xzone show to sell iPods. You can see this video for yourself.

If Kal does have a business arrangement with Rob McConnel then one might think it to be a conflict of interest for Kal as this Xzone show has a lot of flying saucer believers, bigfoot believers, ghost people, and the like on it.

So has Kal K. Korff sold out to make money and have a spot on a radio show or will he hold everyone to the same standards he claims to use on everyone? You cannot have it both ways Kal. If you are going to be a champion for consumers then you must be above any sort of activity that would present a conflict of interest.

I personally do not think Rob McConnel is committing any type of fraud but Kal must be even in his application of standards and this would include applying those same standards on Rob McConnel.

The dilemma of Kalvin Korff

Someone posting in the comments section brought up a rather interesting point. Seems Kalvin Korff has placed himself in a very tough situation. A chap named Don Ecker popped up in the regular spot of an Internet radio show that is usually occupied by our dear Kalvin. This radio show is called the X Zone and its host is a fellow named Rob McConnell.

Kalvin has proclaimed that Kevin Randle is committing fraud and is a liar. Kalvin has proclaimed that this Royce Meyer fellow commits consumer fraud by promoting Kevin Randle as "being credible." Kalvin also damns Don Ecker's credibility as marginal at best.

Where does this all lead, one might be asking. This leads Kalvin into a simple though I'm sure rather frustrating moral dilemma. Since Kalvin lamblasts Royce Meyers for calling Kevin Randle "credible"then here is Kalvin's problem.

When this Don Ecker chap appeared on this X Zone show in Kalvin's usually scheduled slot, radio host Rob McConnell called both Kevin Randle and Don Ecker credible. So the question now is will Kalvin Korff hold Rob McConnell to the same standard as Kalvin holds others? With mere utterance of the word directed in such favorable fashion to Don Ecker and Kevin Randle, isn't Rob McConnell now committing consumer fraud according to Kalvin's own standards? Isn't this Rob McConnell fellow now as "guilty" as the others, Kalvin? I'm not saying Rob McConnell is committing consumer fraud or doing anything else wrong, but I am posing a rather serious question to Kalvin Korff about his so-called "standards" and "morals." I've seen the list of some of the people that are on the X Zone and they don;t seem to be very "scientific" and seems to be rather flying saucer and new age types to me. How does Kalvin still appear on that show with all of those same types of people he has spoken out against?

So what shall it be Kalvin? Risk your spot on the only radio show that would host a loon like you on a regularly scheduled basis? Or stand by the "moral code" you foist unto others and proclaim Rob McConnell a fraud as you have Kevin Ranlde, Royce Meyer, Don Ecker and others?

I guess we get to see just how high your standards and morals are, or aren't. Will Kalvin risk his spot on the X Zone show or will he fold so he can keep the only soap box he has other than his pathetic website to stand on?
