I've never implied any such thing. You can ask questions, but that's not what's happening here. A question gets asked, the answer is considered to be inadequate by those skeptical of the endeavors, and the speculations of hoaxing and being hoaxed start. And they continue regardless of the fact they've already been answered. How is questioning a tax exempt status, or implying it's undeserved, challenging the events in Area X? That seems to be aimed at the member's credibility in an attempt to besmirch their efforts. You'll not imply anything on my behalf, just as you won't continue to badger Bipto about the activities in Area X. It's fine if you don't believe him, but make that case and move on. There's no need for the constant attempts to badger his efforts or to question his motives, i.e. - tax status. That has nothing to do with the activity. In fact, I'll go on the record to say that it's just an effort to call another member's integrity into question to tarnish their efforts, which is an attempt to antagonize and provoke the member. How this is seen as productive by the skeptical is beyond me, as it accomplishes nothing except to promote antisocial behavior. If the skeptical believe that the creature's existence is an impossibility, why do they see the need to belittle and tarnish those that are searching for proof? To build up their own egos, to make themselves feel better, or to convince themselves that their stance is correct? Possibly, but I believe it's to discredit those that want to find evidence in an effort to make them look foolish in public, or to hinder their efforts by casting doubt on their motives and methods. There, I've put it out there to remove the need to claim I'm implying anything.

Well, I went on my first bigfooting trip of the year the other day up the Molalla River Corridor. It was a beautiful day and I had to get away. So I packed up all my goodies and gismos and did it. When I got to the camp site I walked around and looked for tracks and other sign. Didn't find anything. I also did some single note whistles. No reply. At dusk I set out my FLIR and parabolic mic and recorder and let them record all night. When I got home I reviewed my FLIR video. All I got was a mouse running around. Then I listened to the audio recording. I didn't get anything interesting. I may not of gotten anything good, but now I'm ready to get out and do more. Now I'm planning either to hit the five hottest bigfoot sighting spots in Oregon or a camp trip in Northwest, Southwest, Northeast, Southeast, and Central Oregon. Either way it should be fun. Hopefully the fuel prices will stay under four bucks a gallon.

I haven't so far. I'm not motivated to prove they exist so anything derived from that assumption fails. I want to understand them in a way that requires interaction. Corpses are not sufficiently interactive for my purposes. MIB

I agree completely. Feel free to start a Bigfoot skeptic's forum to provide such an environment. Skeptics welcome! Assuming you don't come in with preconceived and immovable notions regarding Bigfoot and those who discuss the phenomenon, you'll find a spirited and thought-provoking debate waiting for you here. But keep in mind, this is a Bigfoot forum. You must accept the proponents point of view if you expect yours to be considered. This is by nature a “Bigfoot House†and is intended to foster intelligent discussion of the subject. This is not “The Anti-Bigfoot Forumâ€. http://bigfootforums.com/index.php?app=forums&module=extras&section=boardrules The problem isn't the skeptical viewpoint of Area X, it's the constant badgering of those that are involved in the project. Everything from tax status, accusations of hoaxing cover ups, and asking the same tired questions, slightly reworded, in an attempt to cast doubt on their efforts. We get it. You're a skeptic. You don't believe it. Fine. This doesn't mean that you'll get to slam others for their efforts.

We don't have threads for believers only or skeptic only on the BFF. All points of view are welcome in the same thread. Frame your comments or questions to the point of the thread...and there is no issue. Whether you are answered or not is up to the person who can answer the question. Whether you accept their answer or not, is up to you. I am pretty sure at this point every question that could be asked, has been answered. Is the answer you want, I have no clue...but a new thread isn't going to solve that.

I watched it, it was ok but not great. I watched it for the comments from Meldrum and the few other scientists that made appearances. I really wish they would bring back MonsterQuest !!
