For folks who post here and feel discouraged by criticism, I found this quote from social work professor/NYTimes best selling author Brene Brown: “If you are not in the arena getting your ass kicked on occasion, I’m not interested in or open to your feedback. There are a million cheap seats in the world today filled with people who will never be brave with their lives but who will spend every ounce of energy they have hurling advice and judgment at those who dare greatly. Their only contributions are criticism, cynicism, and fear mongering. If you’re criticizing from a place where you’re not also putting yourself on the line, I’m not interested in what you have to say.”* Powerful stuff. While I wouldn’t feel comfortable saying this about or to everyone, I’ll put it out there’...if the shoe fits wear it. *”Dare to Lead” Daring Greatly and Rising at Work, Brene Brown, Ph.D., LMSW, Random House 2018

To be honest, many have suffered from a lack of success and as result gone Woo ( a free ticket out for the brain when you have done everything and still come out with nothing ), they no longer not see the need to chase reports or data. They think they can have a habituation site in the side yard next to the bird feeder. If they have not gone Woo then they simply drop the subject out of frustration, doing anything for 8 to 10 years with no direct success can eat at a person. They come in with preconceived notions about how things are going to happen and become disappointed. Failure is the biggest blow in this subject and eventually wipes away almost every name under the title of researcher. The truth is these are not creatures you can just go find and film. They are likely very rare, fear human contact and just plain don't hold a position in any given place long enough to be advanced upon. People have a hard time grasping that something is better at the game then they are. The fear of failure or being wrong is the only thing that keeps money and time from this subject.

God isn't an engineer, he's a programmer. There is so much in the nature of the universe that reflects what I would do if I were running a truly massive simulation that I believe that's exactly what we are experiencing. Holographic universe .. at least at a quantum level. Mathematical consistency of physics across detectable space. Etc etc etc. It's a freakin' MODEL. I could probably write 50 pages on the parallels between "reality" and a good computer simulation .. including what appear to be flaws. The spooky and unsettling question if that's the case ... what are WE? Are we part of the design or are we a defect? The implication .. or an implication .. is there may be MANY programmers each running their own simulation, each with its own particulars. Alternate / non-Euclidean geometries, "realities" where constants like pi, phi, Euler's number, and Avagadro's number all have different values than the ones we are used to thus things work in a consistent but, to our perspective, skewed, manner. And somewhere out there, there's another you and another me, also spooked and unsettled wondering what they really are. ... just don't think about it too much. It will make you crazy. (That's a hint from an inside observer. :)) MIB

People with weapons hoaxing others who have weapons? Not a real possibility as all of them appeared quite sane to talk to. But you ask a good question, and one that has crossed my mind now and then. I figured I'd hear something sooner or later, and it is now past later. My guess is that the public reaction and that of the so-called scientific community was something that they just found too tedious to continue to deal with, and decided to just go dark. Even before they released their monograph on Area X findings, Bipto, the ad hoc spokesperson for the NWAC declared he was fed up with the ongoing "gotcha" tone of the conversation here and signed-off, never to post again as far as I know. I do believe all of them have found their own, personal proof. It is shame, if so, that that they haven't made any recent attempts to share more information. I for one would love to have an update, but they don't owe any of us a thing.

hiflier, you live in Maine? There are Sasquatch's and how is the nest situation in Maine? You email the DNR in Washington State. You really expect an answer? Time and money is the deciding factor for spending DNR money on cryptids. No money. We have the highest gas taxes and compare our roads to Oregon. State spending is a mystery here. Bypass Washington State government. Boots to the ground, citizen science is the way. The problem is that media dollies, entertainment groups and those with IMDb pages have destroyed any credibility with citizen science concerning Sasquatch. Kick them to the curb. Good luck with emails, they are just streaming one's and zero's.

I have been wearing those shoe's since the first day I signed on this forum back in 2000 and I have never stopped. I have posted every encounter I have had with these creatures no matter how bad the criticism I have never stopped. Others have just left rather then stick it out and claim their encounter to be true. One might not have the proof does not mean it did not happen . But the evidence that was left is real and that is good to whom who has had the encounter. It is the running away when one is critical that gets me. If what you know is true then why run and soak your self that they were so critical of me . If what you know is true then that should make you fight harder to what you know is true. It is easy to be critical but it is how we handle it that makes us who we are.

I'm Louisiana Cajun/Creole.........IOW, "mixed race". I find homo sapien race issues amusing at times, boring at other times, and infuriating most of the time. My family will "tap" anybody of the opposite sex, and we've proven it over and over. Even though I married a very white Danish/English woman, I do tend to prefer dark meat in both fried chicken and women. If I run across them in the forest (chicken, grouse, or dark women), I salivate profusely...........

I view all of this with more than a high degree of skepticism. It should not have required an AI analysis (the climate guys call that "computer modeling") for geneticists to have known that somebody was in the mix and is "missing". It's like finding an extinct polar bear in the Himalayas within randomly selected samples picked up in the area, then yawning with a scientific "result" that it isn't a yeti. AFAIC, this is the equivalent of modern climate or weight loss "science", and I have a unique mixture of sea snake oil and organic sea weed grown in a desert that will grow hair between a bald man's toes for sale on discount.

It's been a while since I listened to it, but it did seem possible they managed to get a tracking tag on one. The device, encased in a bur, was positioned where only something very tall could contact it. As I remember, the problem they encountered was having a good enough system to maintain contact and close in on the subject. However, the idea is genius. If you can get a radio tag on one, it negates their stealth advantage. You just need some system advanced enough that you can maintain contact and continuously know location.

@ShadowBorn Been wanting to say this for awhile: the enter, or return key, would be super helpful for folks trying to read your posts. Try and break up the points/thoughts if you can.

I agree with him. The case for intelligent design alongside of evolution and science is a marriage made in heaven. Pun intended.
