A lot of this has to do with the nature of the evidence, as well as what has been going on here lately. A bad photo is not good evidence. It is too easy to manipulate and we already walk a razor's edge in this field as it is. The attitude shift is a response to all the jokers, idiots, and kids who have been deluging the site with twaddle lately. It has been enough to make me throw up my hands in frustration and kept me from posting. I'm sure it is the cause of a great deal of the snarkiness as well. |

Arthur, I agree with almost all you say, as usual, although I'm not sure that the attitude shift is entirely down to the Animal X-generation eejits, hoaxers & trolls. I think it's swings & roundabouts, & it'll swing again. I've rarely been that frustrated I'd not post, but I've given up replying (honestly) more than once.
The thing that irks me with some "sceptics" is this. They're happy to debunk obviously shaky or incorrect evidence (as am I), or shoot holes in inconclusive evidence, but won't, no matter how pressed, be honest enough to admit that they believe ANY of it. Or that they believe SPECIFICALLY in the likelihood of certain unknown animals/cryptids being around. That's sailing close to the winds of hypocrisy, if not downright trolling on some occasions. |
