Latest Bigfoot "evidence"

[ChrisBFRPKY]

It's not. You need to know how to navigate the site to generate such maps. In this case, I ran a query on all checklists in the county that included Carolina Chickadee. [Waitaminute - how could I possibly know that if my information comes only from what's available online?!] Note that this means of course that are likely more checklists for the area not listed because some checklists will not have included Carolina Chickadee.

I see, so you generated that map of 3 counties and it was in fact not on the site for me to find. So exactly how could I have been ignorant of it again?

I went to the reports section for Edmonson County, the area and the only county we are discussing BTW, and clicked on the individual location maps for each report. It wasn't a large task even going back to March 2013. I found the locations to be if anything even more highway location related than I had given credit for previously. So my understanding of where birders go would seem to be precise.

"I wasn't aware" is what ignorant means.

I am aware of that. I'm also aware why you choose to use it.

Why do you say that? I agree that most of the mapped points are on roads and trails, and have not indicated otherwise.

Then please see your previous post to me below and in particular the hilite section. My assertion about "where birders go here" has been proven to be correct according to the mapped birding report areas dating back to March 2013 from present.

So there's just the one specific hillside where the bigfoots hang out to do their primatey things? Don't you think their home range would be large enough to include the "halfway" point along the trail?

Also, how do you know that the ghost hunters don't go other places as well? You've already demonstrated profound ignorance regarding where birders go.

That's the whole point. What YOU observe is an infinitesimal fraction of what is observed.

I never claimed to be able to see more than these folks, I claimed to be looking at different areas and different things.

I have no problem admitting mistakes - I just did so in very public way on this forum yesterday afternoon. If you would be so kind as to let me know what you think I'm mistaken about, that'd be great.

See above.

Translation: the bigfoots of Edmonson County, KY live forever on the hillside where I pretended to find them, and only people who go there 3 days a week like I will do will be able to find them (but only if they possess my superhuman powers for noticing things).

No, they obviously don't live on that hillside. But they were there at least once that I know of.

Yes, to see a Bigfoot one does have a much better chance to look for them in an area where sightings have been previously reported. Of course that's not saying you cannot see one by chance from the highway, but your odds of a sighting will greatly improve if you're actually looking for them where they spend the most time. IMO that would not be on the highways.

I've never claimed to have superhuman powers for noticing things as I'm obviously human. Everyone can train themselves on how to remember detail, there are classes for such things. I have written about how to improve perception in great detail at the BFF previously though. Some of the simplest places to start is to stop dismissing a glimpse of movement or a stick break or an odd shape as nothing and moving along. All you have to do is stop and look around in these cases. To do otherwise would be equivalent of stomping around in the woods oblivious to your surroundings. You could walk right past a Bigfoot and have never known it was there. (Unless it was stinky I suppose)

Trolling literally every single point of any discussion has to be an act. If not, yikes.

 

[ChrisBFRPKY]

They live forever on that Hillside and they are nomadic and migrate. Very special pleading bigfeets.

You know, I don't respond to you normally because your posts are mostly limited to petty personal insults. But in this case I can't resist.

The term "special pleading" is thrown around here so often and it's really funny to me that many skeptics do so. I think it's a misconception by those folks as they want someone else to "convince" them Bigfoot exists.

The problem is that I don't intend to convince you or anyone else here that Bigfoot exists. I have always suggested for everyone to remain skeptical until they have their own sighting. If you are using the term "special pleading" to try and place yourself in the position of being a judge of the presentation, I'm sorry but no presentation has been put forth for you to judge at this time. Be more confident in your position, I am with mine.

See, like this one. Perfect Thank you. Chris B.

By being doubly ignorant in the post above?! And you say you're not BLAARGing. What would you describe the lies above as being? Adding phony context? The truth is it was on that site and it's not of 3 counties. It's the output from a sophisticated query you've apparently had no experience with (despite knowing everything there is to know about birders) nor have any right to be judging. You must live in a straw house.

So when the rubber finally hits the road, your insane postings simply say Bigfoot is anywhere/everywhere BIRDERS ARE NOT. Funny how convenient that is to the notion that it's pretty obvious no birder will ever claim to see Bigfoot (proper). But you already know that.

 

[ChrisBFRPKY]

Don't forget morel hunters, huckleberry pickers (love me some huckleberries!), wildflower enthusiasts, etc. The list is long, but the BLAARGing is deep.

The mushroom guys are actually responsible for some sighting reports. In fact there was a mushroom hunter on that episode of "Mountain Monsters" on Central KY I linked to earlier in another post. He claimed to have a game cam photo as well.

I love those guys. I'm conflicted as to which I like better, "Mountain Monsters" or "Squidbillies" on adult swim. Certainly either has more "live action" than "Finding Bigfoot" Chris B.

Special pleading. You do realize that in order for us to have a civilized society we have to have a certain amount of norms and standards (not just laws) that everyone is expected to make some attempt at compliance with, if just to get along with everyone else. Prisoners are a good example of folks who don't like those kinds of notions and who tend to make their own rules. You're not in prison from what I can tell so you need to quit acting like you are. You can't just make up a definition, lay out some phony argument and then claim you shut it down. Things aren't that simple no matter how much you hope otherwise. You're like the kid who puts his hand over his face and thinks he's hiding.

Excuse me but I was not able to see the map Shrike presented on the site. Of course one can use their info to generate a report map, but that map is not there prior to generating it.

And yes, the map Shrike posted has 3 counties on it. Since you seem to be lacking of this knowledge, let me enlighten you.
Viewed on the Shrike's map you will see Horse Cave, it's in Hart County KY, also on the map you will see Cave City KY, it's in Barren County KY, finally on the map I'll point out the Main Entrance for Mammoth Cave National park, that's Edmonson County KY. That is 3 is it not?

Nope, I admitted one may see Bigfoot from the highways, but you'd have better luck looking for them in places they tend to frequent more often. Chris B.

 

[tsig]

Especially if he are talking about the huge bigfoot that got away when he was this close to catching it.

It's never bigfoot who got away but the bigfoot researcher who ran away.

The places they used to frequent got too popular so they don't go there any more.

Harry, I pointed out the term special pleading is possibly being used alternately for a completely different purpose here. And that I have no intention of trying to convince anyone here Bigfoot exists. Of course it is noble of you to jump in and argue a point for Carlitos though my post specifically addressed him on the subject in question. Chris B.

 

[ChrisBFRPKY]

That would be the main reason for not wanting to publicize a specific location.

[eerok]

I have no intention of trying to convince anyone here Bigfoot exists. Bigfoot exists.

Hoo boy.

Similarly, I have no intention of trying to convince you that you're wrong. You're wrong.

 

[Craig4]

I have explained all and I'll not do it again.
Chris B.

Which is another way of saying that you have no evidence your sample is from a Bigfoot and you like it that way.

 

[River]

But, he has HD video of bigfoot from 15 feet away. He's just keeping it secret. Because. But he's got it, I tell ya. It's not just another blurred figmentfoot. (is the gif we've seen from the 15' hd video? lmao!!)

Bigfoot are fish?

Now I'm even more confused...

I'm curious. What do you, personally, think "special pleading" is? Who do you, personally, think is indulging in "special pleading"?

...nobody does...

 

[Resume]

I'm curious. What do you, personally, think "special pleading" is? Who do you, personally, think is indulging in "special pleading"?

Additionally, please provide examples.

Here's a good starting point, with a highlighted hint:

Applying standards, principles, and/or rules to other people or circumstances, while making oneself or certain circumstances exempt from the same critical criteria, without providing adequate justification. Special pleading is often a result of strong emotional beliefs that interfere with reason.

ETA: Hinty hint--adequate justification

It's also defined as pleading or arguing that ignores unfavorable features of a case. I'm not even getting into the fallacy, or pointing fingers, all I need say is if the shoe fits.
