The ferocity with which the lack of any tangible trace evidence post PGF is defended here strikes me as the most humorous part of it all. This thread is out to 51 pages and I think the number of posts which acknowledge this paucity of tangible evidence would amount to around 10. With a population of folks who cannot even acknowledge that there's been a lack of advancement in all the years post patty talk of being uniformed is particularly interesting.

Pointing out and giving examples for hypocrisy isn't misdirection. It's on topic with his complaint. An example of misdirection would be: "Sure. Care to step outside the BFF?"

Just like I said before- viewing it as a threat to the existence of the field. If the evidence is solid then it will stand on it's own, and if Bigfoot is real then the creature cannot be debunked. So why are you people always so defensive? It seems your confidence in the existence of Bigfoot is shakier than mine. The evidence is what it is- either good or bad. There is nothing wrong or threatening about getting to the truth.

It's funny to hear this from you of all people. It's total hypocrisy: http://bigfootforums.com/index.php/topic/41129-tree-manipulation-wood-structures-what-is-the-evidence/?p=899225 For a person complaining about "respect" you also don't seem to have any issues with responses like this: "Sure. Care to step outside the BFF?" Do you consider that being respectful? Or did you just blindly look over that comment? If she didn't want to provide examples then she shouldn't have answered my question in the first place. It's simple common courtesy to back up your own claims. Not doing so and expecting someone else to do the work is where your disrespect begins.

I seem to remember someone complaining about we skeptics hurling insults and how horrible that is of us. Talking to you Gum: here is a short quote from the reasoned arguments of an adherent and his cohort. Tell me again about how we are dragging down the discussion with insults?

Is bigfoot a creation of the Harrison Hot Springs Chamber of Commerce? http://furtradefamilyhistory.blogspot.com/2011/01/sasquatch-story.html This article was written by a historian not a footer of any fashion. Excerpt below: "Green's July 1, 1957 editorial complained that "Most of our readers will have noticed by this time that the Harrison Sasquatch Expedition (under Rene Dahinden) appears to exist only in the newspapers." The problem, Green explained, was that no one outside Harrison Hot Springs had contributed money to the fund, and if local business people wanted the publicity that this expedition would bring to their area, they would have to pay for it themselves. Finally, Harrison Hot Springs Council convinced itself of the marketing potential of the Sasquatch, and contributed $1,000 towards the Expedition's supposed expenses -- money which probably went toward erecting a welcome sign graced by an enormous neon Sasquatch on the outskirts of Harrison Hot Springs. Just as tourist season kicked off, Green reprinted an old story about a humming Sasquatch that attempted to hypnotize a local woman. He followed that story up with others, and the stories were more unbelievable every week. But other newspapers picked up the stories and the tourists flooded into Harrison Lake Hotsprings."

You really don't know anything other than what you see on TVon this site alone you have Norseman that does most of his searching on horseback or foot Bigfoothunter has spent decades using a polaris (but hardly zipping around) The group I belong to, doesn't howl at the moon or tree knock or any of that stuff We research using the same type of criteria any other type of researcher would use. 2 out 4 of our members (myself being 1 of them) do NOT believe that sasquatch exists I suggest that you go to www.ThomasSteenburg.com and see the thoughts of a researcher and not a TV show PS I think it is clear that Freeman was a hoaxer
