WGBH-

Are you saying that Meldrum is the voice of mainstream Bigfootry, but you are not part of mainstream bigfootry?

Does anyone out there represent people who think they saw Bigfoot, and is haunted by the sighting? Or do you claim to be represented by noone except yourself? If so, then you would not be happy unless you yourself was a guest on one of these bigfoot shows. And of course you know that that would not be good, because they would probably counter that with some doctor who would say that you are being truthful, you really think you saw bigfoot, but he would come up with some logical explanation for what really happened, such as hallucination, or other phenomenon.

You are in a difficult position, because you are saying that those who claim to support the science of Bigfoot do not represent you, and those who represent the science of Neurological disorders do not know what they are talking about, and those who think bigfoot is out there, and go out to study it do not represent you, because you just go along to enjoy the scenery, you are kind of a loner, unattached to any mainstream bigfoot school of thought. So really, no one could represent you instead of Don Keating.

See my thoughts below on who represents me. I would not be happy on one of these Bigfoot TV shows. In fact at this time I am facing a delema about if I want to do a show to support a friend. I probably will do it, but it is not something I aspire to do.

You are in a difficult position, because you are saying that those who claim to support the science of Bigfoot do not represent you,

Who says I subscribe to the scientific theories they present? Some I do and some I do not.


and those who represent the science of Neurological disorders do not know what they are talking about,

Where is this coming from and what does it have to do with this?

and those who think bigfoot is out there, and go out to study it

How can you study something that cannot even be located?


do not represent you,

The people who run the 4 groups I am affiliated with can represent me. I have chosen to be in these groups and If I disagree with something I can voice my opinion, or leave.

because you just go along to enjoy the scenery,

I have only been going in the field since May 2008. I had absolutely NO experience in the woods before that, EXCEPT for my encounter. I contribute when I can, and to the best of my ability. At this time I am still following along and learning. The person who gets stuck with me in the woods is a babysitter. I am grateful to be invited to learn.


you are kind of a loner, unattached to any mainstream bigfoot school of thought.

Not really, the people I research with have the same school of thought.


So really, no one could represent you instead of Don Keating.

You lost me here. Don has always been nice to me. I have been in the field with him, but I am not a member of his organization so he does not really represent me.

John, did you feel any personal responsibility of warning the residents who live around the Great Dismal Swamp after you saw the hairy and savage behemoth? Obviously the local governments were not aware or doing anything to protect the people from what was clearly a potentially deadly threat. Did you basically say to yourself that you did not give a damn about those people? Was it happy-go-lucky arrogant youthfulness that caused you to be uncaring and callous towards others which would even include children? Do you carry any shame of that silence?

William,

Your characterization of bigfoot as a "savage" beast who is "clearly a potentially deadly threat" is interesting since WGBH never said that in any of his posts. I can only assume that you've had your own bigfoot encounter. LOL! IF you would be so kind as to share your experiences with the group.....

You mean Bigfoot has never been described as violent or aggressive and should not be considered a potential threat? Yes, kids. You can play by the river and do not mind the giant apemen...

Check out this three-toed monster Bigfoot with claws in North Carolina. Say goodbye to Farfel.

I think John had a reaction of such unholy terror to the Bigfoot because he could sense the malice. The brooding me-want-eat-your-face rage burning behind those crazy wildman eyes. How many people have gone missing in the backwoods of North Carolina and Virginia? How many faces of innocents has Bigfoot eaten and we have no idea? How many dogs have had their heads torn off by the Boss of the Woods?

Won't somebody please think about the children?

Or maybe it was because he was just a teenager in the woods alone for the first time...

If you get your facts from cartoons, then I can totally understand your apprehension.

I have a simple question. Let's try it again. Has Bigfoot never been reported showing violent or aggressive behavior?

I'm not sure to which cartoon you refer, but it would seem that you've dismissed reports of Bigfoot aggression. Why is that? How did you as a self-described Bigfoot skeptic come to establish that Bigfoot is not a potential threat to one's personal safety if encountered?

If I believed bigfoot existed, why *would* I think it posed a danger?

Or maybe it was the me-want-eat-your-face. We'll never know. John stayed up in a tree and didn't present his head for consumption by the giant wild thing. Smart boy. But how many have not come back, Bruce? How many have come face to face with The Boss, only for oops, Bigfoot ate my face?

Kitakaze, it seems that you are trying to make the argument that bigfoot is dangerous, and is responsible for the disappearance of countless human beings?

I'm afraid there isn't enough evidence to support your arguments.

Uh-oh, duck...

:id:

Did that just come from the guy that was on the TV pushing the classic footer foo foo about absence of evidence is not evidence of absence?

I'm saying that if Bigfoot does exist and many of the reports are true, there is good reason to consider that creature a potential threat. One that any responsible government wildlife agency should act on.

The same evidence that is used to support the existence of Bigfoot also indicates an animal that has been violent, aggressive, or threatening to humans. Throwing crap at us, messing up our dogs, taking people out with infrablasts, taking people out all together - there are oodles of reports of this.

Let's keep it simple...

1) Do you think Bigfoot exists? Yes or no.

2) If yes, is it safe to assume, regardless of reports to the contrary, that Bigfoot is completely benign and poses no threat to humans? If so, what knowledge do you base this opinion on?

Since there is no type specimen, one can not say whether these creatures, if they do exist, are dangerous.

is that simple enough?
