Mike G, it seems you're on a campaign to validate the nonsense spouted by ManoftheSea & Northern Lights. .....

This is where you guys all go wrong. Just READ. Read what I say. I'm not validating anything. Point to anything I have said which supports what they are claiming. Frankly, the subject bores me to tears, but occasionally off-shoots of it, such as the size of Neanderthals, are interesting.

The thing is, unless one is snide and derogatory to the footers, you guys automatically assume that posters aren't on your team. I'm not interested in sneering (at either side), and frankly there are plenty enough of you here doing it that you don't need any help from me. But don't fall into the trap of assuming that just because I don't join in the sneering means I am in the opposite camp, because I'm not. I'm clearly confusing you just by having a normal conversation. Understandable, I guess, because normal conversations in the world of footing are like hen's teeth.

I've rarely met anyone online who does a better job than MikeG of giving all sides a fair shake. Here at the JREF, there's a fine line between "fair shake" and "apologist". In my experience, MikeG is a fine example of someone navigating that line appropriately.
 
Can't we pause for a moment (we're all members of the same forum) and wait to see what Northern Lights has to say..? He has only made one post, 13 minutes after rockinkt's request. Perhaps he is gathering the information, perhaps he made it up. Either way.. doesn't he get more than 1 post (which again, was 13 minutes after rockinkt's, obviously he was slightly agitated about the tone) before he is denounced as a liar?

Neanderthals were squat, stout and muscular looking lads, bit shorter than the average human. Squatch being the total opposite.

Not Heidelbegensis, he was taller, no one knows what body hair patterns any of the Neandertal really had.
 
If you say so, I don't think they exist but if they do the footprints look like Neanderthal foot prints. I can't see Joe Bob with a beer gut and a thermal cam knowing that.

If you lads want to give Footers the benefit of the doubt, that's up to you. Personally, I call 'bollocks' on the whole affair.

You've just hanged someone before the jury has even been sworn in. That's your choice, but I'll join StrongLikeBear in waiting to hear this guy's story before coming to a verdict on the claims about wolf-call stuff.

In the meantime, I urge you to re-read this that I wrote previously:

Take the recording to your own wolf expert if you are so interested in a wolf expert's opinion. Demanding someone else do it for you seems to be just to score a few internet debating points rather than an attempt to examine the issue more deeply.

If your interest is in what a wolf expert has to say on the matter, take the recording to one of your own. You might even tell us here what he has to say. If your interest is really in just winning a silly internet argument, then crack on with the "I call bollocks on this" stuff.

One of those options will move things along a bit. The other just makes you feel good for a few seconds.

Hey, do you know what's funny? I haven't even bothered listening to the recording. It's inconsequential. No recording can ever be of any great use in this discussion. I don't care what anyone says about the recording either, be it pro- or anti-. It's an irrelevance. It seems unlikely that any expert will say anything 100% definitive about an out-of-context recording, and how much is the discussion moved on by "probably wolf"?

Your getting so worked up over me trying to see past the feeding-frenzy of derision that this subject so often engenders says to me that you aren't interested in the facts, you are only interested in shouting yah-booh louder than the next person. Your choice, but it doesn't look good. And the fact that I'm saying that as a sceptic really has you utterly confused.

My point was that he claimed to not know ANY experts, then 2 days later he claims his team had been in contact with them before

Do you not see that even in your own summary there is a possible explanation which doesn't involve him lying? That is, he personally doesn't know any experts, but his team do. That's a fairly simple concept in my view. That's why I say it is too early to call him a liar.

Slow down, calm down, and wait for the guy to respond. And it's my guess that there would be a better chance of him doing so if you weren't baying for his blood before he even opened his mouth.
