Yes, at least reliable evidence.If you think it's tiresome for people to expect some reliable evidence of an 8ft primate living all across the continent than I don't know there's anything that can be said to reason with you. I realize your not physically fatigued. You made a dramatic statement so I treated it as such....snip...
Please allow me to comment this.
Most of the bigfoot defenders who post here seem to show an an unfortunate trend when it comes to debating the "pro-" evidence and supporting reasonings. The standard -and good- practice here is to examine what was presented, searching for details and inconsistencies.
Unfortunately issues within the the evidence and reasonings used to back the claim (including those only marginally linked to the main subject) are very often found, since the majority of arguments and evidence presented so far are faulty. When someone exposes these problems, asking for further clarifications or rectifications on the evidence/reasoning/claim, the reaction almos always is negative. The standard responses include evasions, obfuscations, semantics, rethorics, more claims,
ad homs, appeals to authority, flames, appeals to pity, drama, anedoctes, etc. The above will not solve the problems within the evidence/reasoning/claim. Adding to an ignore list those who checked in detail what was presented and constested it will not magically make the problems disappear.
Reductio ad absurdum, these tactics are nothing but "la-la-la-la-la I can't hear you"...
So, tired of seeing the issues in the reasonings/evidence being presented over and over again? Address them or just admit they have flaws you can't fix, but you still belive in your claim. Otherwise you will read the same counterarguments, again and again and agaim. And yes, we also get tired of reading countless times the same arguments and to expose the very same flaws (actually sometimes we find previously unoticed flaws).
For example, some posts ago a poster made claims that were very wrong. Some months ago I would challenge it. Nowdays, I just let them go. And belive me, one of them (only marginally related to the main discussion) demonstrated an immense ignorance on the subject.
Here is not the place where you make a claim and people just belive in what you said or accept it after a surficial evaluation or after getting that cozy "feels good sensation". If you don't want or don't like to be questioned, JREF is not the place for you.
What's the point of posting here if you ignore the questioning? Ignoring the issues with your evidence/reasoning/claims will not make them disappear. Or its a futile hope that the casual reader will think what you wrote is correct and uncontestable? If this is the last case, then its a dishonest tactic.
NOTE- this post is not directed to an specific poster but to all the people who are behaving in such manner.
