Backdoc Posted Wednesday at 06:33 PM Posted Wednesday at 06:33 PM ^^^ Guess it all comes down to this: "If everyone thought just like me, I wouldn't have to have a problem with you"

If by agenda, you mean most on the BFF believe in Bigfoot that might be true. That doesn't make it an agenda more so than a reasonable demographic breakdown. I would expect most people who go to a Country Western bar tend to like country music. Makes sense. I would expect most who engage on the BFF are mostly believers (lean believer). Some are skeptics. The breakdown is unknown by me, but I would guess 80% of the posters on the BFF believe in Bigfoot or leaners, 20% being skeptic non-believers. This DOES NOT make it an agenda. An agenda might assume some master tenets about Bigfoot are the rule of the day. Anyone violating that dogma would be out the door. I don't see it. In my time here I don't think I have ever witnessed it. It is true reasonable rules apply to the BFF. For instance, it is forbidden to engage in politics or religion on the BFF. That is not different than topics off-limits at the typical Thanksgiving Dinner. This doesn't make it an agenda but guidelines of civility and keeping things on topic. Can you imagine in today's day and age if Politics alone were allowed to be mix in to the BFF conversations and threads? No thanks. There has correctly been rules and boundaries to skeptics and believer alike. For example: While most believe Bigfoot is thought to be some human like animal some might believe Bigfoot is an alien visitor for Mars. If they do, no one will stop them from expressing this idea. They would just be encouraged to take it to a thread specific to this idea. We have had a few posters who were not just skeptics but skeptics who were frankly borderline Trolls and troublemakers. I personally had no problem with these people even when we didn't agree so long as they were polite. I like opposition and discussion to keep our arguments and beliefs sharp and to challenge what we think we know. But it is NOT an agenda to ban such people when they just refused to operate under the rules. This doesn't mean an agenda banned their ideas. Had they followed civil conduct and the rules they would still be here. We should all seek quality not quantity. We should celebrate cleaning up the BFF. If you say, "there is an agenda", can you outline the specifics of this agenda? Kudos on a well thought out posting. I echo your sentiments. 1

The amazing part is? If he or they just participated in the forum as a productive member? Who would be the wiser? The only person responsible for their bad behavior and banishment is the troll themselves. 🤷♂️ 3

Trogluddite Posted 10 hours ago Posted 10 hours ago Not a series on Bigfoot, but this History Unplugged episode of July 22, 2025 is about the U.S. expedition to capture/kill a giant panda in 1929; sorry for the lack of a link to the specific episode, but I am after all a Trogluddite. What is interesting is the first part of the episode, which discusses the scientific dismissal of the idea that pandas existed. Sure, a French priest had sent a fur back to France in the 1860s, but that was not enough to conclude that a new species of animal existed. Hopefully there will be a podcast someday about all the doubters on the existence of Bigfoot being proven wrong. 1

Very pertinent to today's situation with the discovery of sasquatches as well as the discovery of gorillas in 1847-1855. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-panda-was-first-discovered-by-theodore-roosevelts/id1237796990?i=1000718442053
