Your post is absurd. Are you only looking for biased pro-Bigfoot supporting viewpoints? No honest objective views? My comments were completely non-offensive in any way and I was simply stating an honest personal opinion of what I see. Not only is the object the same general shape of a tree break, but it also matches in color. How is that being rude to anyone? Please explain. Can you show me where I "ridiculed" anything? Can you show me where I gave "harsh and relentless criticism"? Can you show me where I "mocked with scornful laughter"? This forum is not exempt from opinions. People here constantly complain about all of this "mockery" and "ridicule", but even when someone posts a simple objective opinion, you blow up and get defensive because it isn't supporting your personal views. If you only want biased pro-Bigfoot viewpoints then just be honest and admit it. Don't disguise it as something else- 'being mercilessly mocked and ridiculed', because that was clearly not the case here.

The knocking thing has been one of my peeves for some time. People are doing it when they have no idea what it means to BF. The only data I have is that it may prevent an encounter. When I have entered areas now and then I hear a single knock. What is their purpose for doing that? Is the BF protocol to knock back once? Twice? If I do it wrong for sure they will know I am not a BF. If I do knock back the BF will have some idea of where I am. I don't want them to know. If they want to know, I want them to come looking for me and hopefully blunder into sight when they do. The better they can determine where I am the less likely there is for a chance encounter. I know if they knock several times in rapid succession, it is because they have seen me and they want to warn another BF that I am there. I know that from an encounter I had. If someone can provide data and show me that it has some useful purpose to knock, then I might consider taking it up. But just because some guys on a TV show do it, is not reason enough for me. With the number of human knockers in the woods right now, a knock is most likely is another researcher.

Not saying this is absolute or anything but this is what it looks like to me-

I have no idea what you are referring to either but I know about the Viking settlements, thank you. Being of Native American decent, I have spent most of my life studying our history and one thing I know for fact is, 96% of the population did not die before the pilgrims landed, nor afterwards. If that had happened, the NA race would have been functionally extinct. I as well as my family are living proof that didn't happen. There were smaller tribes, such as the Mandan/Hidasta that were virtually wiped out by smallpox. I believe cases like that is where you got the 96%, but that applies only to specific tribes, not Native Americans as a whole.

I agree that the BFRO class system is inadequate, that's why we developed a scoring scheme for the SSR.

I do not create physical reality, in this case, it has a name called geography. Geography seems to be the component lacking in their account and is all that I have had issues with in their story. It is out there for all to see including the people that told the story in the first place. When they opened their mouth in a public forum, one would hope that they knew what they are talking about. For a story teller that is into entertainment, it makes little difference if their story matches the physical location. But when someone chooses to do that for whatever reason, we have every right to question all of it's content. How much happened, and how much is just a story? A couple of frequent skeptics here have called me a liar and a hoaxer and I do not recall you leaping to my defense.
