Creekfreak - I don't know why, but I'll try one last time.... You are at a cross-roads of sorts in terms of your "research", with two basic options to choose from:
- Continue on "as is", being defensive at every turn, seeing attack in anything and everything anyone says. Certainly this is the path of least resistance for you, as it requires no change.
However, it will leave you open to endless ridicule from folks (like me, and many others on here) that are real scientists. You will convince no one of your "findings", become mad at folks here for not taking you seriously, feel slighted, etc. You will be perceived as a rank amateur (in terms of your "research") at best, a joke at worst.
Truth be told, any real scientist would run as fast as they could away from you and your "research", because it is totally worthless by your own actions.
Case in point, your "BF" pic. You truly do not seem to understand how totally worthless this picture is now...because of your actions; no notes, no chain of custody being the two biggest offenders in a long list of issues that were raised wrt it.
- Drop the defensive routine, and actually listen to what folks are telling you. I've mentioned numerous times your dire need for some established research methods protocols, education in terms of how to conduct and document field research, etc. Listen to the criticism and learn from it...as real scientists do.
If you want respect, or to be taken seriously in any way, from the scientific community you have to show that community respect. This means dropping the "winging it" approach, learn how to conduct real research, and objectively listen to criticism, etc.
The choice as to which path you take is yours. I'd like to see you take the second path, but past history being the guide you'll take the first - prove me wrong.
