Moderated Bigfoot- Anybody Seen one?

It's a complex issue. Footers seem to spend a lot of time in the woods. Many reports come from rural areas. There are a lot of gullible people out there just like there have always been. Much as it pains me to say it, science education can never touch the masses in a meaningful way, IMO. Most people just choose who to believe. Blind faith. The internet has served to create a reinforcing social milieu for many Bigfoot believers, who would otherwise be isolated and most of whom would eventually give up their beliefs because of the overwhelming common sense input from friends, neighbors and family. Instead, with access to other believers, they become a cult, steered by high priests who are merely vestment-wearing makeup men, television repairmen, ex-cops, veterinarians, and a couple of third-class academics. Cable television's demand for dumbed-down content has created more opportunity for gain for the clever entrepreneurs, most of whom wouldn't know a standard error from a bass fiddle.
 
Plus there are the problems of meth, pot, and beer. Those 3 things are probably responsible for a majority of the sightings.
 
Even Jane Goodall said she wanted to believe in the romance of bigfoot, so this is a pretty strong desire that conflicts with reason. If she had ever been forced to take a position based on looking into it, she would have to drop the silly romance or else lose a tremendous amount of credibility.

I don't know what standard you are using for "a lot of time in the woods" parnassus, and you have a lot better handle on it than I do because you look into these other forums populated by 'footers. But if you look at a show like Searching for Bigfoot, suppose you clock the hours actually in the woods vs. in hotels, traveling, and yakkin' it up - it is a tiny fraction of the total time. They aren't even day trips.

The bigfoot jamborees where they drive along roads in the dark with night-vision; the game drive I saw them do on one Searching for Bigfoot show - all of this is by design the opposite of what you would do if you were looking for an animal.

They may spend time in the woods, but it sure isn't any kind of quality time.

Having just read an 11 page thread on the BFF, I would say that decribes "Mulder" perfectly.
 
Y'all may find this of interest. I set up a poll at the BFF for attitudes toward my encounter with bipedal footsteps in the woods last April (described earlier in this thread). So far, 7 think it was a bigfoot and 3 think I'm lying about the whole thing, but most were responsible enough to vote for "I don't know."
 
Help!!

The guys at Facebook/ Findbigfoot posted this image, and are calling it a Native American carving of a Bigfoot face. A couple of problems: It looks nothing like any N A carving I've ever seen, and it most of the face is cropped out, indicating that they're hiding something.

I know I've seen this face before, but I'm having trouble placing it. Any ideas?

It was inevitable. Have already warned about the deadly, deadly consequences of "Human Bigfoot". The next step in the escalating Sasquatch reign of terror is chainsaws, people. Or, at least pointy sticks. There will be blood shed unless they are stopped.
 
I don't know whether or not this has been mentioned yet, and I'm not reading through 107 pages to find out, but serial killer Cary Stayner claims to have seen Bigfoot.
 
seems like the Higgs bosun has been found; announcement coming tomorrow. At the same news conference, it is expected that the same scientists will also report the finding of a bigfoot.....oh, wait, they're telling me I have that wrong.....okay, they will NOT report the finding of a bigfoot. Okay. Higgs bosun yes, bigfoot no. But since the scientists are finished with it, they are offering the use of the Large Hadron Collider to bigfoot researchers for a "Finding Bigfoot" effort.
 
Didnt the invisible BF they captured at UC Berkeley, in the 70's, zap a bunch of Freshmen co-eds with it's HiggsBosun?
