I am NOT a scientist. I do NOT hold a PhD. I may NOT know much, if any, about DNA but what I DO KNOW is that Bigfoot/Sasquatch is REAL. I have absolutely NOTHING to gain by my acknowledging Bigfoot exist. I am just a girl who loves nature, spends hours upon hours in the woods, and as you know, I've encountered the Sasquatch. I've spent a month attempting to "debunk" my own evidence. I applaud you for providing some of the best information/data I've read.

This,IMHO,shows dedication well above the bar. Instead of writing a quick,nasty comment to someone who may or may not(may not,alas) have any basis for their thoughts,,you actually took the time to write,again,IMO a well written,respectful comment,complete with the facts of the matter at hand. <br /> This,as sadly as it seems,may show why most folks of the mainstream world shy away from our world. For every one dedicated,knowledgable,and professional individual in this community,the odds are there's at least 5 who care only for drama,politics,money,and now(of all things!!)fashion and pop culture,than truth,scientific data,and that wonderful little word called understanding.

I thought I recognized the name,but it remained out of reach. Then,I had to look her up. She's the "Bigfoot investagoter" or something,that seems to be always in front of her computer,never,ever in the woods,and from the looks of things,cares more about fashion than facts. Well shucks,to each their own,what ever makes them happy,LOL!! <br /> And,on a related note,,is this the same individual that had many pieces of supposed evidence,that was busted on every front,by an Actaul Bigfoot researcher/hoax investigator? If I'm not mistaken,if this is the same person,the credibility and respectability issues are gone like the wind.

These can be interpreted as personal put-downs and, indeed, ad hominem attacks. Even if you regard what you have said about her as true, edit them out. They are not necessary when the core argument and its details are true and accurate. I am not saying that your fine response to her post would have been accepted anyway, but an objective reception by the receiver becomes, it seems to me, more unlikely when outright or implied negative personal comments about (her) are injected. I suppose one might argue that an objective reading by the party in question is not going to happen anyway, and one might be right, but I am unable to judge that. Mine is only an editorial suggestion, and is not intended to imply that your science, scientific positions, and arguments are not excellent. They deserve an increasingly wider audience.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01436114975485074850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3882799545813392401.post-24812041335368603342013-10-23T20:11:08.638-04:002013-10-23T20:11:08.638-04:00Scott, Did you see the news report a few days ago...Scott, Did you see the news report a few days ago about a skull and jaw bone found in China over 1 million years old. I'm not sure if it had been reconstructed, but it sure does look like what I think a Bigfoot's would look like. Very big eye sockets, large brow ridge, sloped forehead, and massive jaws.

The forum is filled with the most base fallacious idiocy that seems to be constantly fueled by egomania and a never ending echo-chamber chorus of self-validating circular logic or "Facts, we don't need no stinking FACTS! We're always right, everyone else is always wrong because we say so and if you disagree, you're tinfoil-hat wearing conspiracy theorist kook!"<br />Your response was not that long, it contained to much reason, logic, and facts. That's why Sharon fears it. I used to leave comments there, but even the most mundane comments that question the Dumbfilled News dogma somehow never seemed to make it into the thread.Blackshadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17861266704942109971noreply@blogger.com
