Guest Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Should I change my name here? You guys and gals are like family to me. I don't know where, nor how to even start. I'll tell hubby. If I don't show up, he will have either killed me, or banned me from the computer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 (edited) Cisco, Thank you for sharing your concerns about my public profile and the info available due to my "chatty" posts. Fanofsquach, Your information about how hard a computer name and identity is to protect on the internet, and how available info on posters lives is easily available for anyone to locate really shocked me, and I most sincerely appreciate your assistance in this matter. Megatarsal, Thank you for the new name idea. I may just take that name, but I am thinking about different names to use that will reflect me and my personality in some way. Susiq2 could now be Susiq3 on steroids Should I seriously do that just for safeties sake for my family and me? I had no idea about any of this stuff. I just live in my happy peaceful little world..most of the time! Yikes! Hubby actually was out and stopped by the house for a second, and I asked him to sit down and talk to me because I really needed his advice. After explaining he was visibly upset.He was worried more about *my* personal safety than anything else. Yikes! Hubby, all 6 feet 3 inches 220 pounds of him said very firmly that I was always to keep the alarm system on, and not to open the door for anyone. We also have a large stray that I rescued 5 years ago who will not let anyone, including hubby, touch me, so if I'm alarmed she will protect me while we await the response from the alarm system calling the police. Plus my sons are in and out all day, so since they have moved back home I'm not alone like I was this past winter. Hubby thinks that I'll be okay, but he does want me to be alert, and not to worry. That's like trying to stop Niagara Falls from going over the cliff creating the falls. I explained to hubby that it was you guys that made me aware of this possible concern and he appreciated your pointing this out to me. The only thing I saw that truly was about me were my reviews that I wrote for a couple of years when both of my boys were first in college, and I was so lonely that I wrote reviews and I hung out on the previous forum. This past winter I lived on the forum day and night due to everyone being gone so much, and I was lonely.You guys and gals are great company! Spring and summer I'm more busy, spending time outside,and posting in the afternoon to evening hours, or on rainy days. I do really appreciate all of you, and consider several of you to be genuine close friends. I want to attend a BF meeting and bring treats to show my love and appreciation for all of you. I'll make you all plump or plumper from my homemade with love treats! Edited May 6, 2011 by Susiq2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 What I have to wonder about is if the following occurred as found over on BLC? "The gist of his letter is Adrian Erickson bought all of Todd Standing's films and material and that is why his site and youtube channel disappeared. " If so, then I have to wonder about some things. Removal of Standing's site on Erickson's page may not be what people think. If Mr. Erickson is maintaining relationship with Standing, then I sure hope he validates some important contradictions for himself that unfortunately Mr. Erickson is probably not aware of. For example, the very first video with his little sister filming at the remote land of Sylvanic. The one that disappeared from the net. Or the claim of alleged 16 mm film being destroyed by magnetic field. Or of Standing's claims of a 2' X 2' hole in the mountain chain leading to Sylvanic. Mr. Erickson an outdoorsman like myself, knows this is not a feasible geologic scenario. Or why Standing utilized shill identities from the same IP on various websites at the same time to boost his project. There's a lot of STUFF that Erickson may not be aware of frankly. To the people supposedly in the know here, what is the relationship between Erickson and Standing? On the Carter Farm thread, I said that Mr. Erickson is savvy when it comes to real estate and that he would have checked things out. But I have to wonder that if the above is true, how much did he check the Standing claims out? Does he even know enough about Standing's historic claims to do so? I'm getting the feeling no!

bipedalist Posted May 9, 2011 BFF Patron Share Posted May 9, 2011 Could it be the relationship between Erickson and Standing was simply capitalistic; e.g., somebody trying to corner the net market on available Bigfoot websites, footage and big-names in Canadian research without so much looking at him (Standing)/it (Sylvanic) with a skeptical/analytical eye?

Guest ajciani Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 (edited) I have heard that Erickson has purchased fakes before, and got the hoaxer to sign some sort of agreement not to hoax again, as part of the purchase. It may be that Erickson simply got Standing off the air. Of course, that's just my own speculation, and I certainly hope people don't start hoaxing just to get money from Mr. Erickson. edit: Because Standing was promoting some kind of documentary, it might be that Erickson didn't want people mixing up his and Standing's.

Guest Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Except from one day Erickson has his link on his website promoting Sylvanic, and the next he presumedly owns everything that was tied to it? Doesn't make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fanofsquatch Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Yeah, what gives? Every time something "credible" comes up there is always something that is suspect, and the quieter Erickson is the more it will grow. This may cut into DVD sales.

This is exactly my line of thought. I think Erickson is trying to get the field as clean as possible, weaving out any so-so evidence, questionable projects, and other things that **** all over Sasquatch research. He is preparing the field somewhat for his own project, maximizing the potential gain and impact of the whole thing. Genius! He must figure, and may well be very very right, that any money spent cleaning up all of the riff raf will be gained back exponentially once he unveils the project. Yeah, what gives? Every time something "credible" comes up there is always something that is suspect, and the quieter Erickson is the more it will grow. This may cut into DVD sales. I think most of it is paranoia and BS rumors being put out/created by the community...Like people trying to degrade Erickson as a shady character without following up with proof. Reminds me of lunatics that run around saying David Paulides was a corrupt/sleazeball of a police investigator and never back up those claims. We have devices for such people, called meat grinders >: D People used to do it to guys like Robert Morgan every day of the week it seems, lots of disgusting sleazeballs hang around the community, always have. The crappy/unproductive meat heads always prey on the real winners Edited May 10, 2011 by Xion Comrade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dopelyrics Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Hi there, Do you think it is possible that Standing hoaxed Erickson, and that Erickson has now realised this and decided to buy up the videos so as to avoid the inevitable embarrassment of people watching the videos over and over again? If Standing has indeed hoaxed Erickson, then this would have a hugely detrimental effect on the Erickson Project I would have thought. Of course I am entirely speculating. But for me, any mention of Standing and Erickson in the same sentence has my alarm bells ringing, especially because of the excitement I have for the Erickson Project.

Guest ChrisBFRPKY Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Nobody "in the know" has come forward about the Erickson/Standing relationship. All we have is speculation until Adrian decides to make a statement (or call a Bigfoot show) . I still give him the benefit of the doubt personally. From everyone I've talked with, and everything I've read, Adrian Erickson is a stand up guy. I do question his milking the project for so long. I'm still of the opinion he's probably waiting for Dr Ketchum's DNA paper. It's important to note that the "hype" can dry up just like the milk from a cow that has been milked too long. Alot of folks are getting past the point of caring I fear. It's getting past time to do something IMO. Chris B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
