Lol.
Moneymaker probably isn't anyone who I would want to spend a lot of personal time with... but this jealousy of and bitterness towards anyone who has gained a certain amount of fame or attention in the field is kind of cringey. Actually, it's not kind of...it is.
Get a popular podcast? There's a segment of people on here who will hate you. Go on television is a cryptozoology related capacity? There's a segment of people on here who will hate you.
It seems like a lot of you guys spend a lot of hours looking into Bigfoot related media that you absolutely hate...just so you can talk about how much you hate it. This is the Bigfoot equivalent of a hipster talking about bands that you have never heard of... Sounds like a pretty miserable existence, but whatever floats your boat I guess...
There's obviously always going to be a few people who rub you the wrong way...I have a couple myself...but, you know what they say about 'when you run into a-holes all day..'
Whether or not Moneymaker is in the field nowadays as much as he used to be...for him to admit the self illuminating eyes phenomenon is pretty telling given his stance on the paranormal side things. James Fay has said something similar. Same thing with the NAWACS guys. I would say check out the Seth Breedlove documentary where they film the glowing eyes, but you guys probably hate him too so I won't suggest it.
I don't have an answer for it, but I have seen something similar. Might be completely natural. Might be the fires of Hell for all I know. Some of the accounts might very well be reflected light. Others, including one of my own, seemed to occur in complete darkness.
I kind of wonder sometimes on why such a small percentage of our new members only last a couple of posts. Even the ones who don't come on here filled with righteous indignation that they are the saviours of the Bigfoot community and start try to be an authority in the subject...I mean the relatively normal ones...they kind of drop off quickly. I wonder if it has anything to do with the tendency of a couple of members to just immediately drop the hate on anyone or anything that is mentioned. I know that I have started to spend less and less time on here because of it. It gets old. Ok. You hate everything and everyone involved with the subject. We get it. Take up a hobby that you enjoy and spare me the vitriol.
