Purpose of this Forum

[Ray Ford]

OK, that effort failed me. A tribute to trolls under the bridge. But  will continue to be observant.

You are correct of course and I guess as much as I hate to do it I need to put a stop....

My assumption is that this post should reference, not only the quote from Lefty, but some of the material posted on the "Lefty/Hunting for Bigfoot" thread.  Can't disagree with Bill, but what I would like to see is a "Nonya/Hunting for Bigfoot" thread with agreeable posts.  Maybe he could entitle it "Nonya/Not Hunting for Bigfoot."  I, too, like to read his posts and see his pictures.

Hang in there with posts on your thread, Lefty.

There is one (unnamed) forum that maintains a (original) database of so-called Class A & Class B sightings from a variety of sources including the ones you named. 

Of course, those simply interested in campfire stories will literally "eat it up" as evidenced by the sale of CD's about such tall tales.

The unnamed forum that John refers to is the MABRC forum, and it's a totally searchable and indexable database that has yielded more results than he leads folks to believe.  We are in the process of going through over 30,000 reports, state by state, acquiring information from sightings, the color of hair on the creature, average height comparisons, behavior patterns and locations.  That information is posted on the forum for all to see the results of.  We do look at each report and judge the validitity of it before including it in our studies.  We also creat maps that show the number of sightings per county in each state, with overlays being created to show yearly trends.

We also have 6 Biologists as members of the MABRC, accredited and degreed, that are overseeing our work there.

As for the sale of CD's, can't resist a jab at that either.  Yes, we are advertising the sale of cds of stories that have been acquired over the course of 25 years, and we also have the 2008 Honobia Conference PCDVD for sale too. 

ANother feature that has recently been added to the MABRC forum is a Cryptozoology Encyclopedia with currently over 400 entries in it, and it is growing daily as more information is added.

The point that should be made here, is that this forum is called Bigfootstudy, and that is what should be posted here, not jabs at others because you hate them.  This site could be a great place for information to be placed if it wasn't for all the negativity that you bring to it.  Pure and simple.

The unnamed forum that John refers to is the MABRC forum, wrong (again) as the website I was referencing is www.bfro.net and is arguably the most extensive database of such "sightings" many of which have been extra-appropriated into yours. and it's a totally searchable and indexable database that has yielded more results than he leads folks to believe.  We are in the process of going through over 30,000 reports, state by state, acquiring information from sightings, the color of hair on the creature, average height comparisons, behavior patterns and locations.  That information is posted on the forum for all to see the results of.  We do look at each report and judge the validitity of it before including it in our studies.  We also creat maps that show the number of sightings per county in each state, with overlays being created to show yearly trends.

We also have 6 unnamed/unknown??? Biologists as members of the MABRC, accredited and degreed, that are overseeing our work there.

No Darren, I wasn't kicking your website as (once again) you've convoluted my post into another incident wherein you take the "victim" posture and pimp your place at the same time...still, gotta give you credit for unabashed self-promotion...even if it lacks any verifiable scientific basis whatsoever...you give yourself far too much credit....step back and take a deep breath...of reality.

So are you saying that the BFRO database isn't valid?  That was the point it seemed to me.  Yes they were included into the database on the MABRC forum, because it is the largest and by making it part of a larger database, only makes it easier for researchers to find what they are looking for in one location, and they are given proper credit for the report.

The reason the biologists will remain unnamed is because of the propensity of some who visit this forum here have a tendency of calling people and harassing them for their support of the MABRC.

"Valid" what do you mean by that term?  As of yet, there is not one piece of forensic evidence that has been put forth with the ability to pass modern scientific method muster.  Not on any website devoted to Bigfootery.  The reports are simply "stories" and lack any basis for validity in the scientific sense.  Maybe, when/if something ever turns up your "scientists" will finally come out of the closet?

If you're referring to Todk/Joseph, et. al.  a simple bit of background work revealed exactly who that person was...or was not.

tgs. I'm ready, willing, and able to read ANY of your research and stories. With your vast knowledge I'm sure it will take you quite a while to get it all together. I await your reports sir. POWDERMAN. 

Charlie,

Any so-called "research" I've read/heard about (so far) is about as foreign to actual scientific based research as the possibility there is such a thing as an honest politician.

What would "proving" the existence of BF accomplish?  IMHO, probably far more negative results than positive for the "boogers" and I subscribe to the prevailing NA philosophy that "they" (whatever they actually are) should simply be left alone.

As far as "stories" go you've already read the accounts I posted on this site.

Of course, you can go to almost any of the other BF websites and read their recent reports (aka; "stories") section to get yourself caught up on the latest and greatest...however, they sure seem to be like a soap opera in that the older "reports" appear to be recycled as "new" stuff in that the common theme is usually something like..."Booger runs across road in front of us...or, strange howl/scream is heard from the woods every time I walk out on the patio...or, tree knocks are heard from the bottoms every time I go down there..."...just make sure you check as to what flavor (du jour) of kool-aid is in vogue.

Wow, this is amazing, I have never actually seen a bigfoot site that spends more time arguing semantics and having little middle school tiffs over the stupidest stuff...by the way, what is the purpose of this forum?

Oh...it could be worse...a lot worse.

There are forums where your posts/threads (if they don't toe the party line or criticize a favorite son) are significantly altered or even deleted.

Dang and I thought all of them or at least most of them were that way.

When the critter you're talking about is a myth and no one has even a remote shred of real evidence they exists there really isn't much to say is there?

You should have been around before I calmed them down here. It used to really be nasty but it IS NOT going that direction again.
