Guest OntarioSquatch Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I just want to know: Was any part of this paper released. A partial summary. It can be read here http://www.dnadiagnostics.com/press.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oonjerah Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I agree with icicle and St. George. IF I have something to say to the world, the facts in my message are extremely important; but I have an opinion, a message of principle as well. Why am I talking to the world? I want people to know the facts of the matter and to agree with my principled conclusions. I seek communication AND agreement. My appearance and presentation are at least as important as my message. For if people don't like how I look and sound, chances are they won't even hear the facts I present, and they will not agree with me. i.e., They won't care if Bigfoot is real or if he's hunted with guns. The persistent ridicule will continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiiawiwb Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 You'd be disappointed if I did. I used to model for Elite when they were still Premier in London. I've also worked as a makeup artist. You really think people's appearance is totally divorced from their personality? If she was a dwarf, sure. Not her doing. If she had one leg, sure. Probably not her doing. Painting on lips that aren't there? Her doing. A deliberate choice. If you make deliberate choices like that, you will make other deliberate choices like that. Her appearance is not the issue. Her judgement is the issue. OMG, she may be on the cusp of the most significant primate discovery ever and you're judgment of her is completely focused on her lip gloss? Wow!

Wow! Perhaps we should wait and see if I'm wrong first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Because when someone looks bad, and is representing the entire community, they make everyone look bad. When I worked for Hard Copy, we would almost always try and find the "worst looking" or as we called them "most newsworthy" subject to interview for various pieces. People want their stereotypes fulfilled, and if you hand them a slow ball, they are going to knock you out of the park. This is part of why BF and other "fringey" areas of study aren't taken seriously. How many reports do I have to read where they talk about the upstanding character of the person being interviewed- they look clean cut, they are a policeman, or whatever. You never see a report that says "well Bob was dressed like a Pirate, and Sara was dressed like a Goth" taken seriously. The hole anyone has to climb out of to get the world to take the study of Sasquatch seriously is deep enough as it is- there is no reason to dig the hole deeper right before you area about to try and climb out.

wiiawiwb Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Perhaps we should wait and see if I'm wrong first. I will agree with you that looks do matter. When I boarding a 767, I wouldn't want a flight captain greeting me in tattered shorts, a mohawk, facial piercings and massive tats covering his forehead. It would make me seriously question his skills and be horribly uncomfortable on that flight. Having said that I don't think the subleties of makeup rise to the same level. Hey, but that's just me.

Guest slimwitless Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I wonder if the peer reviewers have taken all this into consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The persistent ridicule will continue. Is this some kind of insecurity some of you have? If someone is disagreeing with you just because of your looks then chances are they were not after the facts to begin with. A science journal looking to make next big discovery won't turn down an amazing discovery because of someone's looks.

Guest Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 ^^Slimwitless...good point. The paper might have run into trouble due to too much lip liner. Can we get OFF the subject of how she looked?? Really. Icicle, not to be harsh but go hang out on a modeling forum and talk about her choice of make-up there.

Guest kampz Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 (edited) What a lucky lady getting all of these bigfoot DNA samples all over the United States. What's the difference between me and her or her and you? Even luckier then Patterson IMO. I'm not saying she's a liar but, this girl can go anywhere and leave a "nutbar" out and bigfoot will eat it.

Guest Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 ^^Yes NGJ. I feel a high school type shudder through my spine as I read some of these posts. I am pretty neutral on this whole thing till I see a PAPER but again, I think the interview she did on the Houston (?) station was very informative. She sounded confident at least. I hope she does more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
