It appears that (former) member, Public-Enemy (Mike Silva?) was responsible for the 55 attack posts created under the name "Telahnay" that occurred over the weekend.

The time and energy devoted to such an exercise appears to indicate a fixation that may well lie outside the norm of acceptable social/psychological behavior.  Also, artifacts included in said posts were apparently furnished by another member of a website cohabited by both.  This further indicates a collaborative effort which in turn likely expands the idea that abnormal behavior may be endemic within this group.  This is also buttressed by the attack/derogatory post evidence found on that website coupled with the covert (ISP gathering) antics of said website's owner.

I wonder if their momma's are real proud of them now?

I did not see any posts of that nature..did see the usual spammer post!

You certainly missed nothing of value. It was merely a childish and vulgar attack on John using a photo of him with a deer he had taken and some vulgar comment added as if the deer was commenting. It was childish, tasteless and uncalled for. It was very specifically the type behavior I have said will NOT be tolerated here.

Had he been content to post it once then it likely would have just been deleted and I'd have informed him I'd not put up with it. But to post it 55 times trying it seemed to get it on practically every thread here was just too much. We're gonna be pretty easy going here and let as much pass untouched by Admin and Moderators as we can but some things are just not acceptable in polite society.

I've suspected from the beginning that PE was here only to create problems for the site and his behavior this weekend finally proved it.

We're really only interested in folks as members who wish to contribute something to the discussion. That can be in the form of asking question to seek info, posting experiences and sightings or to notify of things happening on TV or anywhere in the Bigfoot community.

But if a person registers ONLY to harrass, intemidate or to interupt the discussion they are NOT going to be tolerated. It is my hope this will become accepted as a serious Bigfoot site and that as time passes enough people will join such that it can undertake some serious study/investigation/research as you will and begin to collect sighting reports and even have enough members in widely enough spaced areas that someone might be available to go out to follow up on sightings reported.

That will take time, energy and effort from the membership if you want it to become that you must make it that. I have a mimimal interest only in the subject but do enjoy reading the sightings and encounters folks report even if I don't necessarily always accept them at face value. My health and finances do not allow me to go running around the country looking for the critters. I'll leave that to the rest of you.

I will fund and provide this website for you to use if you have a genuine interest in the subject but I will not allow it to become a personal attack, name calling, childish prank site. Understand very clearly it is NOT going down that path.

Yeah...all he seemed to be interested in was bickering with John.

[Prairie Ghost]

Sheesssse...

Don't those people have a life?  Have jobs and friends & family that keep them busy?  I will never understand why they want to do things like that.  One time, maybe; 55 times, I wouldn't have that much time in one day to devote to such foolishness.

[Bill]

You really have to be obsessed to post something 55 times in a row as fast as you can make the posts. That's a sick mind for sure. Clearly hatred not Bigfoot was his reason to be here. A real shame actually as he did make a few posts that actually contributed to the discussion but he just couldn't move past his problem with one single member here.

I've heard (from a mutual source) that's he's denying any culpability in the incident but like the fella said an ISP is an ISP is an ISP.

Of course, it's possible alien abductors were illicitly using his ISP for nefarious purposes.
