Hoaxes, Hoaxers, Frauds, And Con-Men In The Bigfoot Community

[Guest grinder]

There are a few names I'm suprised not on the list that who have been very misleaeding in the presenting of "evidence" or "proof" that tend to habitate on these forums.

[Guest RayG]

It's no surprise. Like it or not, if they are a member here they are afforded the same protection as every other member, and listing them would be a contravention of the BFF Rules & Guidelines.

Even if it's not defaming because they have admitted to hoaxing?

[Guest RayG]

Even then. In the Tar Pit however, there's more leeway.

If we mention Rick Dyer in conjunction with the Georgia hoax; how is that defaming him, since he's admitted to it? Would that would hold true for any admitted hoaxers or anybody involved in a hoax?

[Guest RayG]

It has to do with whether or not they are a current/active member here, not whether or not they've admitted to hoaxing.

Why does this forum choose to turn such a blind eye and harbor such shenanigans? I know, I know..."It's in the rules"

Why does this forum choose to turn such a blind eye to this counter productive and subversive behaviour?

I understand what your saying, been there done that believe me, I had a hard time leaving the old BFF and coming to this one, the rules are different and geared so no one can get slammed, try and remember this is after all just a forum to discuss BF, not a scientific study or place to validate evidence, sure we can all ask questions, but in the end no one has to prove anything.

Hi Ray,

Why bother starting this thread, if one can get off the "known hoaxer list" by signing up for the forum? If they join the payperview section do they get a full pardon with their record wiped clean too?

Good topic, but a very flawed list, as a few have yet to be proven hoaxers........

Can someone post the text of the statement? My company's firewall has pegged the web address as a group of charlatans.

I don't believe the rest of the MABRC is any more legit than Mr. Smith.

I don't believe I just read the outing of a hoaxer's sexual orientation as a basis of proof that the organization he hoaxed wasn't complicit in the hoax.

I swear, keeping up with the online BF community is becoming like watching Knot's Landing - what's next, a relationship between a geneticist and a deep-pocketed benefactor in order to protect financing for her research?

In next week's episode of Knot's Landing - Ed Smith's associates are outed. ;-)
