Guest Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 It would be great if you could provide links to those stories by clicking on the chain link and pasting the address there. I found a couple of links referring to the story in question. http://paranormal.lovetoknow.com/Real_Werewolf_Sightings http://www.bigfootencounters.com/stories/bord_casebook.htm http://sos-paranormalinvestigations.weebly.com/creatures-of-ohio.html Do you want me to do your research too? No, it just helps keep the conversation moving smoothly when information that is presented, is presented with a source. ( a link, ) It's very much appreciated, when information is shared that way.

Cotter Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 pssst....Gumshoe.... The 'sexist' comment was not directed at you. And the conservative comment was directed toward Law Enforcement in the area in question. Just figgered some clarification was in order you equal rights liberal! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 (edited) Guys, I decided to leave the forum ... Good luck in your endeavors! Edited November 19, 2014 by Gumshoeye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockape Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 (edited) Sorry to hear that Gumshoe, but we have no idea how much experience you have posting in forums, so we were simply trying to be helpful. Sorry you took it the wrong way. If it seemed we were piling on that was not the case. Also, I do not remember Bonehead or Jayyeti being contentious people, I've always had a high opinion of them actually, so I was operating from the position these people were not trying to be a problem or harass you but to help others in researching those posts. And as for the sexist remark, I saw it and I agree, yet the thread had moved forward several pages before I read that and I saw no reason to bring it up again.

Guest Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 (edited) Rock, you know we had our talk .... I live a pretty wholesome life, married, raised two good daughters, and I dote over my three grand-daughters.... I wear a scar on my face every day from a domestic violence case very early in my career trying to help (not a man) but a woman. The thing turned tragic and left me injured and a bloody mess. I am a prolific reader, sober and generally happy with my life. I am a college graduate, served two tours in the military and led a pretty successful career. I have no vices other than enjoying talking ... don't we all? Living in a household of girls all my adult life, and being raised with six sisters I am last person one would call a sexiest .... When and until the petty name calling is controlled, I see no reason or purpose here. Nonetheless I always said there were boundaries a person doesn't cross with me unless I choose it. My politics are nobody's business unless I make them yours but the thread this morning wasn't about politics or my personal acceptance of the human gender, it was a vicious attack by some gutless individual with a hidden bone to pick. My username Gumshoe derives from another name for private eye. That is all it means. The dope that walks all day long, and so much so he or she get gum stuck to the bottom of their soles, hence gumshoe. In law enforcement today rubber gloves are necessary for prevention of blood, germs and disease ... but more to the point to prevent possible damage to latent evidence and flashlights are one's best buddy ... The questions I posed earlier were exactly inline with what I would have asked in another time. Edited November 19, 2014 by Gumshoeye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotter Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I have GOT to be reading the wrong thread. This was in the dogman 'need your help' thread, right?Gum, I simply think you misunderstood. Look at post #111 in that thread. Suzi was addressing her comment to all the men. When asked, her reply was something like 'b/c men are more equipped to handle something like this'. At that time, I posted that it was a sexist remark - in a humorous way. Then you made a post. and JKH made a post indicating the conservative nature of Law Enforcement of the area in question (not LE in general), as well as made a comment about how he/she didn't care for the sexist remark Suzie made either. I encourage you to reread that exchange, I think your anger is misdirected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Jayjeti - You've always been a gentleman and I was a bit curt and out of line please accept my apologies. It wasn't you, it was something just festering. Bonehead, my apologies to as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockape Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 (edited) Well G-man, I admit I haven't read back through the thread so maybe you have your reasons. I meant to get back to you by pm just to thank you for your service to this country, but I'll go ahead and do it here in case you do leave. I hope you don't however. I have a lot of experience on internet forums (I run two of my own) so one thing I can tell you is you can't let others get under your skin. Many times that's just what they want. Don't give them the satisfaction, I'm sure you've dealt with more serious situations. All this stuff in the end is nothing more than words on the internet that do not make one hoot of difference in our daily lives. Edit : I misunderstood what you said here... "Well G-man, I admit I haven't read back through the thread so maybe you have your reasons." I thought you meant this thread but you were referring to the other thing. Like I said, I agree with it but have faith in the management here that they will handle it in the proper manner. These folks do a great job running this forum, and I can tell you from experience that is not an easy thing to do.

Guest Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Gumshoe, Come on, You are wanted and needed here. You bring a peacemaking presence here, and you are always watching out for posters well-being. You have made dozens(+-) of recommendations to me about trying to stay safe on the WWW, which I needed, and deeply appreciated you caring enough to try to protect me. You are the good guy here, the peacemaker, so stay and I will promise to try to behave so you don't have to worry about me. Please don't go, it would hurt too much to lose you.

chelefoot Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Cotter was correct. JKH was directly the sexist comment to Suzie, Gumshoe, not you. He was correct about the conservative comment as well. It was referring to Law Enforcement in the lady's area. Sometimes things get mixed up when a thread is moving quickly. I hope you stay.

jayjeti Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 (edited) Hey Rock, all Jayjeti needed to was ask if there was a link simple as that .... I don't need a 'How To' tutorial ... I was curt, but rude was being called a sexiest and conservative on other thread, when I asked some questions. I didn't notice you calling out that then so then what's the problem? So you see rude when I say something but not when you see or hear it any place else is that right? It wasn't trying to be offensive. I was interested in reading some of the stories you noted just short snippets of and I thought I would ask just before I left on my merry way to get some dental work so I could read them later, but instead I came home to get drilled again. Since you were noting fragments of a bunch of stories without providing any links, which is a common courtesy that a lot of forums encourage, I wanted to read some of those accounts, not for you to do my research. If its books and you don't have internet links, fine. You sourced a couple of research organizations like the Northeastern Ohio Bigfoot and the Pennsyvania Bigfoot Society, if you don't care to link to'em, okay. I see you offered some kind of an apology; so, don't respond just move on to other discussions. It doesn't do any good to discuss it any further.
