Peter Byrne is a good man. I met him once in the early 1990s at a convention. He couldn't have been more down to earth, friendly and courteous.
Please don't make assumptions about people you've never met. It's ignorant. |

Do you feel you should make an absolute judgement based on one casual meeting? Many salesmen are smooth to your face yet can be dastardly thieves in reality. |

This is not an assumption, but an opinion based on a statement that Peter Byrne wrote for the public. I'm sure you could find it on Google somewhere if you wanted to, even though it was some years ago. Such behavior, IMO, is just plain unethical and cruel. You have a right to defend Peter just as I have a right to defend Loren, whom I've never met personally but corresponded with him by e-mail quite a few times, and also have read a good number of his books. If you want to think I'm ignorant, that's fine with me.
BTW, Larynx, your profile pictures are so cute! You're the same age as my daughter. The pictures are really clever, especially the one with the eyeshine, just like a Bigfoot's! :) |

Ella, I'm sorry I was a little "full-throttle" in my posting. Got home after a really bad day and went to the forums (GREAT IDEA!), but that doesn't excuse me calling you ignorant. I apologize for that.
I've always admired Peter Byrne and as I said, he was extremely nice and didn't seem the least bit arrogant. That's all I'm basing my opinion of the man on. And you have every right to believe what you want of him. I've never met Loren Coleman but he's always seemed to be fairly lucid when it comes to cryptozoology. I know a lot of people on here don't care for him, but to each their own.
And thanks for the compliments! That was very sweet of you! |

Dear Larynx, no need to apologize, I'm ignorant about a lot of things, diesel mechanics and brain surgery, for instance! :D EB used to call me all kinds of worse things, such as "a stupid old woman who is desperate for attention", and I replied, "Does that mean you're not coming to Texas to take me to the Dairy Queen any time soon? Older women make better dinner partners, dearie. Oh, woe is me!" :D :D
Maybe ole Pete had a bad day when he wrote that nasty letter or blog, who knows? Before that, I thought he was a wonderful Bigfoot researcher too and still do, but IMO, his personality sux wind, to do a thing like that. Even if I didn't like Loren and thought his research was no good, I would still feel he didn't deserve that kind of shabby treatment from Peter. I don't agree with all of Loren's crypto theories, but that's beside the point. If somebody accused me publicly of pilfering something, I'd just say, "That's right, you ignorant fool, and you gonna have to pay me big bucks to get it back. Go ahead and sue me, sucker! So wipe it." |

Haha! I don't need to leap to brain surgery to show off my ignorance! :) But an apology was definitely owed to you on my part.
I wasn't aware that Peter Byrne attacked Loren Coleman. I have to admit I've been out of the crypto-loop for a couple months. It's so interesting about the bad blood between some of the researchers (I remember watching one video of Rene Dahinden getting up in the middle of a lecture by Grover Krantz and telling him he was full of shit...lol). |

Great balls of fire! I didn't know about Grover and Rene having a feud either. I think they've both gone to that big research center in the sky now, and they can continue their feud up there. But they now have all the answers and we're still down here asking the questions. :D |
