Well, if you believe in bigfoot, you'll believe in just about anything.
Read Northern Light's post; he's still a member here, and he's still FoS.
Ah, this is an understandable inference - bigfooters are so gullible they will believe in anything.
But what we learned over the years in developing the Bigfoot Live Action Alternate Reality Gaming theory (BLAARG) was that these guys generally do not believe in bigfoot. No more so than a con man who claims to have a million dollars in a Nigerian bank for you.
This type of individual gets a great deal of satisfaction playing the bigfoot game - getting you to think they're actually serious and then deploying all the abusive tactics of selective attention, minimizing, denial, playing dumb, guilt-tripping and shaming, playing the victim, playing the servant role, etc. against skeptics or agnostics. With fellow Bigfooters it is like being at a 14th century knights and maidens event.
We can know when people actually believe in something by their actions. Or conversely when they do not believe their actions confirm so. The people who claim to believe spend a lot less time in the woods than others who believe in real creatures. Fishermen go fishing. Hunters go hunting. Bird watchers watch birds. Bigfooters spend little or almost no time at all in the outdoors, and particularly where Bigfeets are supposedly most likely to exist. Their events are laughable in terms of being specifically designed not to encounter their alleged target.
