Do you consider ItsAsquatch's opinions on this page to be "stifling"? Nobody seems to have made any beef about his comments. Why do you think that is WSA? http://bigfootforums.com/index.php/topic/41129-tree-manipulation-wood-structures-what-is-the-evidence/page-21 To me this is just more anti-criticism banter. Opinions are okay as long as they're supportive and biased. You seem to think that sharing is more important that honesty- I totally disagree. Without honesty this entire field is nothing. I'm sure Rick Dyer can come here and share more than you can stomach if honesty is irrelevant to you.

The post 293 that you linked to states that nothing was noticed at the time when taking pictures. He states that they were randomly taken photos. He only noticed it after he got home and examined said photos. "As soon as I got home I downloaded the five or six photos from the woods to look them over before going to bed. When I looked at the two photos I snapped around the wood formations and magnified them I nearly fell off the chair. Now folks, I never expected to see anything other than trees and vegetation but certainly not a monkey man! Yup, no blob squatch photo.... In one of the random photos I snapped, it appears as though I captured nearly the whole right side (from head down to the upper thigh) of a hairy man looking at us." Gumshoeye is telling us here on this forum that he actually saw the creatures, and even has a full description of what he "saw": Are these reports from the same person?

^Which is exactly why the field is fast becoming a big joke in comparison to the early days- the lack of accountability. Before we had people like Dahinden and Byrne putting everybody to the microscope and weeding out the bad eggs. Now we have the welcome wagon for hundreds of hoaxers as long as it maintains a steady stream of entertainment and makes people feel good about contributing even more potential hoaxes. Of course we won't ever know that they're hoaxes because we don't want to question their stories- let the fantasy override honesty. We might as well call this the Bigfoot RPG forum. You don't even have to look beyond this one thread to see the problem being created. Tell me WSA, do you feel that Gumshoeye's story of encountering a Bigfoot that day has more standing than anyone else, because he was there?
