Is that the same one that provides your password? My apologies if I'm missing something very basic.
Toggling between two carefully selected frames of a film can be misleading.
That should be it.. Did you follow the link in the e-mail ?Is that the same one that provides your password? My apologies if I'm missing something very basic.
Since I'm not having any luck at crypto...
Aniway, I found at Melissa's site another interesting tidbit on bigfeet, the twisted trees issue. Two things, the way I see it, point to an origin not related to an undiscovered North American giant ape:
-The fallen trees surveyed by Kathy point towards the same direction, this may be indicative of wind direction;
-Twisted fallen trees are common. I've seen plenty of them in tropical rainforests where there are no mythical giant apes. Slight weight imballances and differences in the mechanical resistance of the bark and the trunk, coupled with (even gentle) winds may be enough to start a rotation movment.
So, if say the above but finish my arguments with a "who knows, but maybe bigfootdidit", I will be an OK skeptic. But if I don't, I'm an evil denialist scoffic...
I'll just have to wait, I guess. Then... all DWA's base are mine!
Woops! I mean, "ooru DWA's ba-su aru berongu tsu mee." I can only surmise that my posts are indeed being quarantined. I just posted in Army National Guard Officer's sasquatch sighting pointing out the obvious fictional nature of the tale and of course, no dice.Get with it dude. You live in Japan? You are supposed to say, "All DWA's base are belong to me."
Anyway, daring the Crypto folks to visit JREF was probably the kiss of death for your post. Expect that your posts are quarantined before appearing in the blogs. The men behind the curtain might decide what is posted and what gets discarded. There is a need to maintain control and public image when you are promoting a grand myth as reality.
Don't expect Bigfooter forums or blogs to operate like JREF. This forum seems to be very close to truly open dialogue, with only occasional actions taken against foul-mouthed brats.
It's pretty common to see Bigfooter references to things like broken or twisted trees, stick "formations" and tree knocking.
Even though, to my knowledge, no one has actually observed bigfoot engaging in any of these behaviors.All are being attributed to Bigfoot as being some form of display or communication.

DWA: Why do people like me show up? Well that's what you get when you falsely portray informed bigfoot skepticism. Open dialogue doesn't bother you does it? People who have spent a long time examining in-depth the bigfoot phenomenom and are of the position that there is no such animal don't bother you, do they? I'd really love for bigfoot to exist but I'm quite sure that it doesn't. I'm open to the possibility but I see nothing to support it over mundane causes. You don't think so? Great, let's talk about it.
Bigfootery is a self perpetuating belief system and there are those such as myself who are very familiar with and interested in how it perpetuates itself. Very few proponents feel confident enough in their case to go where informed BF skeptics discuss the issue. When BF skepticism is misportrayed then us coming to where you do so to answer you shouldn't be so surprising. If the case for bigfoot is so strong then you really have nothing to worry about when that happens, do you? Looking forward to your response if my post is allowed to be put up. Most haven't.
MultipleEncounters: I apologize if this offends you but I don't believe you've ever seen a bigfoot and I think it's too bad you can't acknowledge an utterly obvious poor hoax with this latest youtube prank. Since in none of your multiple claimed encounters were you able to produce any manner of reliable evidence I wish you the best of luck for your next one.

The tree knockings are proposed as a form of audible communication. Bigfoot is described as picking up a big stick or rock and banging it on a tree or log. This is proposed as a way for Bigfoot to indicate its presence or to "say something" to another Bigfoot or even a human. But why would a Bigfoot knock on wood instead of just scream or roar or something?
WP, where? After some time my post did show up in the Todd Neiss army officer thread but no DWA response.KKZ, your post showed up after all.
But guess what? DWA replied, and all your base are belong to him.
Thanks, WP. I found what you were talking about. As Greg said, his stuff went up right away so mine does seem to be going through lengthy quarantine. In the meantime while I wait, just for fun:KKZ, it appears that all of your posts are now right where you put them. The blog format makes tracking stuff down really tedious.

kitakaze: I can wait until you read my posts again. People who don’t read carefully come off looking like scofftics.
Scofftic: skeptic who pays no attention to any evidence that doesn’t fit pet theorems.
And who serves up lots of weak coffee. (All those “bigfoot myths”: easily refuted. Been done lots of times on this site. Mostly by me. Use that Search, man. Please don’t make me do it again, OK?)
Oh, BTW: Bigfoot have been shot, more than once. At least once fatally. One shot, good rifle. Yep, I’ve put up the link to that one too, right here, read all about it. READ SIGHTING REPORTS. I know, broken record. But folks just ain’t doing it.
Waiting for a sas to climb into your truck ain’t gonna get it done. Following evidence? Now THAT has a track record.
DWA: I read your posts carefully. Interesting yet typical that you responded to mine without answering any of the questions posed to you. Where is this reliable evidence of bigfoot? Bigfoot has been shot? Lovely. Reliable evidence? You were stating it as fact, you know. I've been reading sightings reports for the better part of my like. Again, el chupacabra, Nessie, UFO's, and Jesus Incarnate. Nice try with the reversal but a whole lotta paltry evidence is indeed weak coffee. Funny that when you are faced with an actual informed BF skeptic you offer nothing but evasion. I'm taking it that you're declining an invitation to step up to bat with us at the JREF.
DWA, all your base are belong to me!
