Sasfooty Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Not intended to hound, but is what you are posting stories, or claims? I will call them "accounts" of what I have experienced. It is from my perspective, & if it doesn't jive with what is generally accepted as true, I can't help it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Plenty of them tell me to move on, but I guess you missed that, too, since I don't whine to a mod about every little thing. The warning was posted for everyone, not just you. I have only just started reading the thread, so I cannot be held to any action or inaction by any other MODS. So far, no one has whined to me. Ok, everybody, carry on please. Splash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Not trying to kill a thread here but... Sasfooty, If you feel you are frustrated with the discussion of your claims, step back and take a deep breath. Take a day or two off. If that does not help, then just stop period. Regardless of how I feel about your claims, I hate to see anyone feel dog piled on. You seem to understand that your claims are quite extraordinary, yet you are frustrated by the line of questioning and requests for proof. I don't see this as productive for you. I see it ending badly with anger or worse. If you make these types of claims, you will be called on them and rightfully so. What exactly did you hope for in this discussion? If you are not getting what you want, is it worth it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasfooty Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 (edited) What exactly did you hope for in this discussion? If you are not getting what you want, is it worth it? Well, see, people can ask sensible questions when they put a little thought into it. OK, what I hoped for: I hoped to tell an account of my experience over the last few years, with what I and others close by perceive to be hairy bipedal beings, who we see & hear on a regular basis. It is my view, my perception, my "story". I am not trying to imply that I habituate them, walk among them, or have telepathic conversations with them. I claim no expert status. I was thinking (apparently mistakenly) that since this is a bigfoot forum, there might be somebody here that could possibly find it interesting, or see something familiar in what I have to say. And in answer to your last question, no it isn't worth it. The next obvious question might be "Why do you continue?" To which I would answer "I have no idea, except that I don't like to give up."

And in answer to your last question, no it isn't worth it. People always think that their questions are sensible, I don't think anyone wants to ask a mean or ignorant question. That is totally subjective. I think you have accomplished that. I personally don't find your claims that outrageous, I have heard worse. I am sure that there are many people here who enjoy reading your story and find it interesting. Focus on them. But there are also those who will be skeptical and will question you. The mods are here to make sure the questions are not out of line. I would be the first to report someone for insulting you regardless of my skepticism of your claims. If someone asks you a question that bothers you, simply ignore it. I don't give up either. Edited November 7, 2010 by JohnCartwright Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gershake Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 (edited) Sasfooty, just for clarification, at the moment, you are not (actively) trying to obtain visual evidence of them anymore, right? If you do ever get a clear picture/video of one (that you would personally consider irrefutable), would you post it here/publish it or whatever, or would you keep it to yourself so they could be left in peace? (...Would you show it to me, at least? ) Edited November 7, 2010 by gershake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasfooty Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 (edited) People always think that their questions are sensible, I don't think anyone wants to ask a mean or ignorant question. That is totally subjective. I think I have been more than patient with many questions that I found to be anywhere from ridiculous to outright stupid & well past mean. I at least had the good manners to not point that out to them & to try to answer in the best & most polite way possible. Good manners are starting to wear pretty thin all the way around at this point, although I am planning to get mine back if possible. I think you have accomplished that. I have nowhere near accomplished it, but am no longer living under the illusion that it is possible. I personally don't find your claims that outrageous, I don't either. You'd think I had been claiming to be spending my nights riding around their spaceship or something. I have heard worse. I'll bet you have. I can imagine what they are, and you might be surprised to know how many of them are actually true. However, I have no intention of going there, & no questions along that line will be acknowledged.

I see that the "good manners" are wearing thin. That is why I attempted to offer advice. Then focus on the questions you want to answer. Claiming to have regular visitation from Bigfoot and riding around in a spaceship are both extraordinary claims. Skeptics see no difference between the two. It does not matter to me which extraordinary claims are true. I only care about getting the proof. Good stories in this field are a dime a dozen.

masterbarber Posted November 7, 2010 Admin Share Posted November 7, 2010 (edited) Yep, that's right, well actually, just hearing them now. You're not seeing them anymore? I wonder why.

Sasfooty Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Sasfooty, just for clarification, at the moment, you are not (actively) trying to obtain visual evidence of them anymore, right? Right. Even though I don't give up easily, there eventually comes a time when it isn't worth the time or trouble anymore & I did get enough to satisfy my need for personal proof. It even satisfied a few other people, & that's saying a lot. If you do ever get a clear picture/video of one (that you would personally consider irrefutable), would you post it here/publish it or whatever, or would you keep it to yourself so they could be left in peace? I don't know what I would do with it, but I don't think I would feel much desire to post it here. I don't think there is any such thing as an irrefutable picture anyway. (...Would you show it to me, at least? ) If I was going to show it to anybody, you would be right at the top of the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LittleFeat Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Hey Littlefeat. I'm just curious. Are you a moderator in training? I'm wondering because in thread after thread and post after post (or pretty much wherever Incorrigible1 posts) you're trying to correct everyone's behaviour. There's nothing wrong with heated discussions and we have enough mods. Apparently there's a 'report' button for people who get their feelings hurt to use. Why don't you let them use it? WTB1, it appears from your post that I'm not entitled to my opinion either. The more I read on this thread, the more I understand why BF don't want anything to do with us. Do you use this type of aggression in your everyday life? Heated discussions are fine as long as they are accomplishing something, but IMHO this thread has gone way past that by people attacking others. If this thread was live and in-person, the police would have been called long ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
