I don't think you are here to dog me. I have read every question and opinion given to me. I have not shot them all down, only most of them. Yes most of the postings here have been polite, and why do I need to show appreciation for people being civil? Should I not expect that?

Of course you should (although it doesn't always happen on 'believer' threads). You said that you were becoming discouraged by ridicule-I just meant that there was more courtesy than ridicule.

I'm obviously not making my point clear, so I'll be off. No offense meant, and good luck. :)
 
Kit, I cant even find the Pasquotank river on that map. I am clueless. I know the cabins were right next to the river and the property was near Rt. 17. I am sorry bud. Can you see the river? I would love to figure out where it was. Maybe the river was a tributary?

Have you doubted what you saw, due to the fact that an ancient species of monstrous ape could go undetected in such a crowded, small area.

Are you sure the sighting you had might have this curious beast involved?

Cabins next to river on property near Rt. 17. That might help, I'll look for it.

Here's the link for Pasquotank River again:

http://maps.google.ca/maps?hl=en&q=Pasquotank river Pasquotank County&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wl

Click on the blue link for the river to the upper left. When the map comes up use the hand icon to pull the map down so that you can see the obvious chunk of green that is Dismal. See how it has Lake Drummond in the middle? Notice how it kind of look like an upside-down wonky guitar? Well, Lake Drummond would be the sound hole for the guitar and the neck would be the long part that angles off to the right at the bottom. That corridor of green is the area along the Pasquotank River. It empties out at the south at Elizabeth City. When you look at this you can see that this is not some new development that sprung out of nothing in 1995. The land has been this way for a long time and when you see the land, the agricultures, and the urban centers right there, it is just like this kind of brainfart that your monster could be there.

Kit, thanks for the help. I can understand how it works now. I think the area would have been near where Rt 17 meets Morgans Corner Rd. Near the river there. But of course I really cant be sure. Thoughts?

Edited to add: BTW, what the heck is that makaya person talking about in those posts above? I don't get it.

Little Mak. Why have you posted that it is a fact that Bigfoot can go undetected in a small crowded area yet previously your view was that Bigfoot couldn't and didn't exist?
Are you covering all bases so that you can carry on with your confusing posts?
Or is it just me that is confused? Its been known.

Why is it a waste of time to talk about it? I can understand if you are bored with the topic as you may be because of our history. Not everyone here seems to feel that way though. What kind of slack have you given me Harry? Are you admitting that deep down you feel I am a liar and have been kind to me for all these years? You think I do not suspect you feel this way or that it does not make me feel terrible when it comes from someone I respect like yourself?

I would never call it a waste of time. More simply that its 15 minutes of fame are up. And really, that's not meant as a 'personal' attack. I'm not renouncing 'my love for you'...man, just coolin' it trying to help you see the obscure, but serious value of doing some genuine and honest 'critical thinking' in regards to not only your Bigfoot Encounter™, but any and all of them.

As for my being bored by it now; yeah. What happened was uniquely your experience, not ours, and the reality (above and beyond the 'reality' I mentioned above) is, there is no way possible for any of us to ever know what it was you actually saw and experienced that 'fateful day'. Thus, whatever it is you've convinced yourself it was...Bigfoot...and you have convinced yourself it was Bigfoot...then that's what it is. It's just that simple. Who am I (really) to 'insist' you saw something different? And if it's not 'just that simple', please tell us what it is you'd accept as a 'possible explanation' that does not include Bigfoot as a living, breathing, zoological entity.

I think that's why you're not genuinely taking Kit's (for example) often very astute and compelling arguments, notions, observations etc. to heart and honestly 'contemplating' them. You're in 'I saw a big hairy monster I did I did I did' mode and you have been all along. I'm just not sure what a forum of 'kinda certified' Bigfoot skeptics is really gonna do for you now except possibly exploit your seeming masochism.

And sorry, my previous post was a little rude. You gotta know I still love you man! ;)

I never said bigfoot could go undetected in a small crowded area. (Are you sure your not confusing WGBH'S posts with mine? I may have said that. i am not 100% sure.).

I do think that it is more POSSIBLE for a population of hominids to go undetected in somewhere such as Tibet, Siberia, or Borneo, etc. just not north america.

I agree with you totally about my 15 mins of fame being up. Heck I would call it 5 mins. I do not like to talk about my encounter anyway. But, there are people here on this forum who seem to have questions or do not know me or my story. I just wanted to be fair to them. If I can come here looking for research ideas, it is only fair for me to answer questions. Other then that, I have no agenda here as some have said.

I have taken Kit's and other JREF members advice and I am seeking professional help regarding my sleep problems. I really do not want to discuss that any more in depth as it it personal.

Have you ever wondered why all bigfoot sightings lake one specific thing? One word: Evidence.

Yes, I believe that could possibly be the general area, but as I said it was a long time ago and I cannot be possitive. Thank you for figuring out a way to post that because I could not.

Do you feel your sighting is more credible than every other bigfoot sighting?

How do you expect me to vouch for the credibility of all the other Bigfoot encounter reports? Are you serious?

Yes he is I'm afraid- I get the same questions

Do you know why? Because someone of your character arouses my curiousity.

I am amazed that an individual, such as yourself, can be so scientific and strict when it comes to standards of evidence. I still remember your "Acid test" when it comes to strength of evidence. Yet what really amazes me is that the same individual i described above is actually a PROPONENT of bigfoot, based on his two unsure encounters (80% sure) of the beast. It makes me feel relieved that there is someone a proponent can look up to, and that individual is you, Longtabber Pe.

Sincerly,
"Little Mak"
