Guest diana swampbooger Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I'm sorry but I don't know what you're talking about. For easy comprehension, Bodhi, read it slow & let it soak into all corners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 (edited) I've read this query posed and, to my mind, answered repeatedly. I can answer from my own perspective, you may not be satisfied with my reasoning or my conclusions but I am completely satisfied. No reports of missing persons from the area. No police reports for the park relating to anything which could add substance to the claim. No hospital reports for injuries or deaths within the park. No reports to news or on social media of any such attack. A claim of an extraordinary event without substantiation is, for me, insubstantial. It carries no weight. I am aware that some think very highly of the man making the claim. That is wonderful but without any supporting evidence, it's still only a claim. In the sciences a good reputation/character can be enough for peers to take the time to examine claims made. If those claims are set forth without supporting evidence which withstands the review process you have very little chance of getting a call from Oslo. In fact, due to the absence of these sorts of mundane reports from the (park services,police,health care) the claims seem less credible. State agencies run on paperwork and while one department/agency might plausibly have buried the incident the likelihood of the all doing so seems low. So there is a low probability claim without supporting evidence. If there is a profit motive and the claims are used, even obliquely, to drive traffic to a pay site then it goes from attention seeking to possible flim-flam. There's also known associates. For me, if you choose to associate yourself with people of suspect motives/character I take that into account regarding your own character. Faulty reasoning on my part? possibly. Is it proof of an attempt to manufacture something exciting? It is for me. The motivations seem to be monetary but I doubt there's only one cause,attention seeking seems to likely too. On a quick aside I work in insurance, if you feel that staging a messed up camp is too elaborate to be believable please recheck your first principles. The creativity of humans whilst they are up to no good is stunning. I'm not at all interested in debating where I stand on this. As I mentioned previously, no opinions are going to be swayed at this point. People are entrenched. ^^^^ You wouldn't happen to have any idea who posted the above message either do you? Given the vast colossal wisdom and knowledge you portend, please by all means share it with me how someone so familiar with the insurance industry would pretend to be so coy about excuses and then apply them here with this topic. My contention was there were interesting similarities between the two markets (SC) radio show and insurance industry since both are supply and demand driven and one (SC) are amateur’s when it comes to excuses but insurance are totally excuse driven.

Oh took a post regarding one thing and decided to grab another post pertaining to something else and did you own sort of mash up. I'm supposed to know that you've decided to do that apropo of nothing at all. Super duper. I do not agree with the contention that the insurance industry is demand driven. I do not agree that the SC show is run by amateurs ( the show name and I believe the website is owned by an entertainment out of texas - this was confirmed by research done in another forum). I do not agree that the insurance industry is excuse driven (I don't even understand what that means). The insurance industry is driven by profits, period. They set goals for net profits and rates are set to those meet/exceed goals. Whether your particular rates go up or down can be a matter of, literally, many hundreds of variables but the bottom line is that the company is going to meet profit projections off of your back. The closest analogs to the insurance industry I can see is a "bookie" or a casino. How any of that relates to my original comments regarding your posting of a story from 2013 which came from a dubious source and which was never confirmed by the author, I have no freaking idea.

Bodhi Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 cannot edit my post, although I can see the edit "button". I left out a word. The SC name and website were shown to be owned by an entertainment attorney in tx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ChasingRabbits Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Entertainment law is a field that includes tv/radio/movies and publishing and digital media. So an "entertainment lawyer" who owns a website (read: digital media) is as expected as an entertainment lawyer who owns a book store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodhi Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 (edited) We (the folks who are on the forum started after S.C. imploded) were all surprised that it wasn't owned by the host, he seems to present himself as the owner rather than an employee. My point though, is/was that the S.C. isn't run by amateurs. That was the point. Edited June 15, 2015 by Bodhi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless he has investors or had a trust fund, a seemingly unemployed or underemployed man owning the website, domain name, and paying for its development and marketing is unusual, especially if the income is primarily membership fees. A seemingly unemployed or underemployed man using free sites like facebook, youtube, or the free podcast services wouldn't raise red flags.

The above doesn't do much to advance your argument, whatever it may be. Also, I have to ask: what on earth is the purpose of adding an absolutely absurdly ridiculous number of blank lines after your text? It looks silly and makes scrolling past it on a small phone screen a real pain in the butt.

MarkGlasgow Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Okay.... so what do we have in here this week? Well Gum seems to be having great difficulty in controlling his space bar.... CR is still fighting the SC/BG corner hard. It's surely just a matter of time before those pesky MIBs come a knocking.... Looks like Diana SB still sees dead people. Rumours that she is to replace Jennifer Love Hewitt in the Ghost Whisperer are being heavily denied by her agent.... WAG isn't shouting CLOWN SHOW nearly enough as one would like.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
