PJ, the fact this post is still up speaks volumes about our forum and Cisco. I for one don't believe one word of this post and if anything just makes me have an even lower opinion of bigfoot researchers than before. Short of a soap opera I have never seen much that would compare to the back-stabbing and in-fighting that goes on with these people. Cryptozoology should be science, not science fiction.

Red, you're not alone on that. There are some people who seriously search for cryptids and other anomalies, and even though their subject matter might be questionable, they can be taken seriously.

But when I read MaryGs post, it took my breath away. Cryptozoology has been reduced to a soap opera. The subject matter causes enough eyebrows to be raised without this type of stuff.

It's like clock work. Every 8 months or so. Like some sort of story mill it just keeps producing the same gunk over and over.

It's like waiting for your toilet to clog up. And produces just about the same mess.

Not until we suffer significant brain damage. Without that, we couldn't keep a straight face during the press conferences.

I guess we could stand behind him and make faces at the camera. That would be fun.

"the fact this post is still up speaks volumes about our forum and Cisco."

I agree.

"I for one don't believe one word of this post"

Well, some of the things she said are true, but much of it she has mixed up, and there are some things that are flat out untrue.

"and if anything just makes me have an even lower opinion of bigfoot researchers than before. Short of a soap opera I have never seen much that would compare to the back-stabbing and in-fighting that goes on with these people."

Yep. Im glad I stayed out of most of it.
My trip to Marys was to see for myself. It seemed to me that the best chances of proving existence would come from habituations, and there were 2 habituations going on very close to eachother.
In one case the researcher simply needed to believe so badly that easily explained phenomena was construed as BS activity, and in the other case the perpetrator was a hoaxer.
So my hope for proof via habituations vanished as I realized that true believers will believe despite evidence to the contrary, and hoaxers exist for more reasons than just a big joke.

"Cryptozoology should be science, not science fiction."

Yep.
