I'm sorry but this is just sad. This was a carnival gaff. To make anything more of it is fantasy and I think (hope) most folks can recognize that. I get the feeling if some of us said the world was round there would be people here that would argue it was flat just to disagree with us. I think what some of you old timers forget (and what the newbies don't know) is that many of the folks you hang the "skeptic", "scoftic" or "denialist" tag on started out on the BFF (and in most cases well before that) as proponents. But now that we, through a very careful look at the evidence presented, find that much of the evidence presented is lacking tangible quality we are the bad guys. That isn't because we don't want to find it tangible, it's just because it is what it is. This is a losing battle for us because the proponents can play the "we can't know anything about sasquatch", "science ignores sasquatch" and "science doesn't apply to sasquatch" cards, which are arguments based on fantasy but are arguments, that on the BFF today, can't be countered because of the vocal believers whose goal is to quash any type of rational discussion without any dissension. I honestly have a hard time trying to figure out why the honest examination of the evidence is so objectionable to some people here and why the idea that some of the evidence presented in the past might just be intangible. I also understand that people don't want to let go of their core beliefs, but when the emperor wears no clothes, the emperor wears no clothes. Let the usual dissection of this post commence....
