Merged Bigfoot follies

I llike the way bigfoot enthusiasts never seem to question alleged sightings in regards to cognitive error or bias.

So do you have any examples of someone coming to harm because of a belief in Bigfoot?
 
Resume ~ You know that is one thing I always thought the BFF1 had going for it, not much got by anyone on that first forum, there were some smart educated folks that asked a lot of very good questions, and backed them up with some very good investigative data, IMHO the believers were genuinely outclassed and flat footed when it came to proving evidence in many cases, now it's all just a religious belief and most of the skeptics that took their personal time to look at it in serious way have given up cause it ain't about real life science anymore, I was always about peace and trying to get the skeptics to look at it from a believer point of view, I tired to get the forum to be more sympathetic toward those that wanted to think BF was real, boy was I ever wrong.

David Paulides seems to think so, or so he insinuates in his book 411 despite the denials that it has anything to do with a bigfoot.

There are bigfoot enthusiasts that take their children on vacations specifically designed to search for this cryptid. While there's nothing wrong with getting the kids involved in the out of doors, it would probably be more beneficial to choose an activity more firmly rooted in reality.

Wally Hermansen has been scammed out of 1/2 a million dollars because he believes. Stubstand gave huge money too.
Ketchums legit career went into the toilet, with no chance of redemption

You can argue they are all self inflicted, but from my view, half a million lost is harm, as is loss of a reputation

Not to mention the mental anguish caused by researchers who get mad because they got fooled by hoaxers or threatened if they think someone can prove something is fake that they hold dear. They attempt to track down the source, and make threatening phone calls to someone who may not have any idea what is going on.........which just reflects back on a lack of basic research skills and intellect IMO, since that kind of thing can get you arrested these days post 911. No wonder they can't figure out that bigfoot doesn't exist.

I have noticed an increase in that kind of behavior, Melissa was always one that liked to threaten people when her lies were exposed, at the rate the TV and reality shows are popping up I think this BF junk will burn out pretty soon and what support they have now (if you want to call it that) will come to an end, people get tired of things and this is getting old.

RRS opinions are solely based on the stupidity of the Bigfoot community and although may not seem very factual at the moment, it's just a matter of time before it comes to pass~

Martin Luther King, Jr. was obviously not referring to Bigfoot per se. But I do feel sorry for the little kids who are raised in the "Bigfoot is real, anti-science, Obama isn't an American, conspiracy theory" lifestyle and all that goes with it. That's a burden, for the kids, and for the country.
 
Not to mention religions. (although I'm sure he did not mean it in that way, it certainly applies)
 
My guess is that CreekFreak nearly died a few times in that idiotic bigfoot-hunting boat of his!

CreekFreak had a way to put a colorful twist into his stuff that left a way out if you didn't believe him, cool thing was he was not such the crazed religious demanding nut job in this new Millennium breed of Footers, reminds me a lot of SweatyYeti and his outlook on the subject, you don't feel that mind invasion you get from the Bigfoot Collective.

I got booted from the BFF before I got around to reading the Creek Freak sagas in the old archives. Is there anything here that he posted that is worth reading for entertainment value?

Bleevers like to pretend that no one would go to the trouble of an elaborate hoax, or even hoaxing a track or fooling around in a costume, and no one would lie about seeing something. Give me a break.

Last year I went to Fouke, Arkansas to tour with others the alleged sighting locations of the Fouke Monster. The tour was conducted by Lyle Blackburn, author of the new book, The Beast of Boggy Creek.

One location was a stretch of lonesome country road that was heavily forested on one side, and heavy with brush on the other side. Blackburn made a remark to the effect that no hoaxer would deign to wear a heavy, hot ape suit, stand in the dark on a hot summer night, wait for a car that may never come, then when the car does come, run across the road into the heavy, dark brush. He thought this scenario was more unbelievable than an actual man-ape running across the road in Arkansas.

I thought to myself: That is exactly what a hoaxer would do.
 
sounds to me like its a first hand discription . One by someone with experience in this sort of thing!
