I have reread this thread with a mind towards being as dispassionate as possible (my present circumstances permitting what would otherwise be a colossal waste of time) and I have been forced to the conclusion that CF has been, at best, disingenuous in his dealings here. The photo that was provided has been photoshopped and I have at this time no reason whatsoever to believe that it was done by anyone other than CF. CF has claimed that the photo has been examined by "experts" but has provided no evidence of this. DW, the only person that we have any evidence at all of having examined the photo and CF's selection as an additional "expert", has indicated that he has serious reservations about the photo and believes that it has been manipulated. CF has refused to provide any evidence in his defense. It is just possible that at some point CF sincerely believed that he had a photograph of bigfoot, but, given the evidence to the contrary presented to-date and his behavior in response to this evidence, it strains credulity beyond the breaking point to think that he still so believes.
The only conclusion to which a reasonable person can come at this point is that we are now dealing with a deliberate hoax.
