I'm more than willing to carry the matter through to resolution but I think you know very well that it isn't going to look good for you, Hairy Man. Anywho...
Ah, somehow…someway, I knew you were still posting about me!
Just keep telling yourself and others that I'm obsessed with you and creepy instead of admitting that you were caught being blatantly dishonest by someone who was dogged about proving the point if that makes you feel better but I assure you that doesn't make it true.
First, I didn’t say everyone on this board was hateful. I happen to like desertyeti very much. Correa and LTC have been nothing but respectful.
Fair enough, let's just call that LAL's typical slant on the facts. For the record, I was also nothing but respectful until I realized you made a rather simple blunder seeing the word 'kooshdakhaa' and not recognizing it as a phonetic spelling went on to fabricate and carry on a story of them being separate characters with separate stories to account for the blunder. Even after realizing you had been dishonest I tried to stress the fact that in every reference I was aware of you were considered a kind and generous person. Nevertheless, you tried to pull the wool and you were caught. It's too bad you won't admit it.
Go ahead, Kathy, and now try and pretend I'm your stalker but you must think us all daft if you expect us to buy this BS about you being simply 'wrong' as opposed to obviously being busted being dishonest and making stuff up and acting like it was based on your professional knowledge. However, surely you must realize just how easy it is given how few posts you have for anyone other than me to go and look and decide for themselves.
What I said specifically is the reason I wasn’t posting is because you are creeping me out. I haven’t posted since Feb. 23rd, and yet you have posted something about me everyday since then. I find that very disturbing.
Nice try, I'll get to that in a moment. For now, I'll just say that I try to be dogged, meticulous, and diligent in dealing with inconsistency. Especially with footer stars who shape opinion.
Secondly, why are you still having such heartburn about the whole kushtaka/kooshdakhaa issue? Let’s lay this out on the table…I stated that they were two separate names; you said they were the same; I said you were wrong, look it up in a language dictionary; you then posted a good 15 times about it; I posted I was wrong and I apologized. How exactly did I dig myself a hole in three posts? Why are you blowing this so out of proportion? Did I state, “I declare on my reputation that I am all knowing and you should bow down to me?” Nope…I made a statement, I was wrong, I apologized. I suspect I could go through your posts and find a similar wrong statements that you apologized for (as we could for everyone, as you know, perfect people are more elusive than bigfoot).
First, a question. Why did you not introduce yourself as Kathy Strain, head of the AIBR and major figure in bigfootery in your
first post? If you'd like to say it was because you thought skeptics would have treated you differently, I'd understand. I butted heads with plenty of skeptics when I first came here. How many times do you think you've said something to the effect of 'I'm an anthropologist so I know what I'm talking about'? Nevertheless, let's go ahead and lay it out. Let's start with a series of posts showing you to be flat out wrong.
#1966- You're completely out of line.
#1976- The stories or the references.
#2012- Very well studied on NA lore.
#2020- Maybe crow?
#2095- No apology?
And now let's see where you were wrong and dishonest.
#2049- Woops. The blunder.
#2073- Think fast. The BS.
#2206- Nope, you're still wrong.
#2294- Maybe I'll prove it. Huntster?
#2298- I said different stories.
#2315- Thanks, Correa! Good point.
#2568- Wrong, apologized. Dishonest?
However, I’d like to remind you that you stated in post #2574 that “I will not pursue the matter further beyond this post nor seek to exploit your admission” and yet you have done exactly that at least three times (including above). I was not dishonest in my statements…I was wrong. You however, sir, are the one who is being dishonest...you aren’t keeping your word. And frankly, if you can’t tell the difference between being wrong and being dishonest, I don’t know what to say.
I have made reference to Hairy Man directly or indirectly a total of nine times (not including this post) since replying to her admission in post #2574. They are as follows (for this no links as they are recent enough to easily check):
#2611- an indirect reference to her dishonesty.
#2671- an invitation to return.
#2688- response to Sweaty apparently submitting her husband's BF claim as evidence.
#2706- response to carcharodon's mention of my response to Sweaty.
#2714- response to Sweaty seeking verification. No reply to date.
#2741- response to LAL's mention of her. No specifics.
#2748- response to LAL. No specifics.
#2763- response to LAL on the subject of BF nests including reference to Kathy Strain's claim of nest find.
#2764- response to LAL including detailed specifics of events concerning Hairy Man.
Do you think that I have sought to pursue the matter with you or exploit you're admission? Remember, you still claim to not having been busted being dishonest when I have done much to show otherwise. You are more than welcome to make the case that you weren't dishonest on the matter of kooshdakhaa/kushtaka and I would be very interested to see how you would seek to show that.
I am very confident in my own honesty, credibility, integrity, and professionalism. If you feel somehow that I am a detriment to my profession, you are more than welcome to contact my National Forest, the Pacific Southwest Regional Archaeologist, and the local tribes I work with. If you feel I'm a detriment to bigfooting, please feel free to take your charges to the BFF or the AIBR Board (who have the power to reprimand me). Otherwise, I would suggest you move on and stop humping my leg.
I can assure you I have no interest in either of your legs. I have also elsewhere stated that I don't think you are dishonest in your nature but simply got caught in an easy blunder and the tried to cover for it. From the beginning of your participation here you have repeatedly claimed your authority on matters we discuss, spoke down to others, and then been caught with your pants down.
In my response to your admission in post #2574 I detailed why I think it's important that we shed light on this. You have been shown to misrepresent, mishandle, and distort facts including outright fabrication. You are a key figure of bigfootery and your claims influence the opinions of many believers. I for one will bear in mind your actions here when I read of you speaking about nests, prints, or call blasting results and I think others will, too. As for your day job, I hardly care except where you use it as brow-beating material. I do remember the specific reason why you got into anthropology, though. To bad there's no reliable evidence for them.
