I have checked with a moderator and been given the go-ahead for this subject. There are some sick people in the lunatic fringe element within Bigfootery that have gone completely into the real of the immoral and the criminal in order to get at me because of their offence at the perceived threat I pose to their field and their icons.
I posted a warning to the stalkers in the BFF thread yesterday (this issue has never been discussed publicly at the BFF and that forum is not the problem at all)...
And this...
In coming posts I will post some of the various messages being posted by Bigfoot stalkers in their attempts to harrass me and invade my privacy. It's totally not cool and I am not going tto lie down or fade away and hope it stops. Assistance from anyone who can help stop the stalking and harrassment by posting messages typed in Bigfoot forums, blogs, and other websites and identifying the stalkers so they can be reported to the police in their area would be greatly appreciated.
Skepticism is one thing. Me being critical of the ideas, writing, expeditions, etc of Bigfoot groups is one thing. I don't call these people's work and try to get their home phone number and address. I don't address arguments by saying the other person looks disgusting. I don't make homophobic remarks to be derisive of someone. I really don't care what these people say about me when it's empty name-calling that only serves to diminish their own intellect. It's when these people cross the line as they have that they need to be stopped and dealt with swiftly. I have zero tolerance for stalking and harrassment as we all should. If these people have a problem with my criticism of their Bigfoot stuff, come debate my arguments in a thread, don't come after me personally in my private life.

I need to make an important announcement while the JREF administration and moderators review my documentary thread. My privacy is being invaded now. I am being stalked by paranoid cultish Bigfooters who think I am the enemy and that I intend to make a mockery of the culture of Bigfootery with my film project. It is happening right now as we speak and it is not stopping even after I have pleaded with people to stop harrassing me. It's sick and wrong. They are calling the places I perform at seeking my phone number and home contact information. They are contacting people in my city to mess with me and invade my privacy. They are using my name from facebook and myspace to try and get at me.
Here is my announcement. It is important that this be taken seriously and allowed to be seen by all the people engaging in stalking and harrassment...
Their is a very small minority of people within the Bigfoot that are obsessed with personal prestige and mexican soap opera drama. These people view me as an enemy and a threat to their social circles of Bigfooters and the prestige of their various organizations. These people are seeking to discredit me in any way they can which has crossed the line into stalking, harrassment, and invasion of privacy. Their motivation is the anger and fear that I will smear the deceased Roger Patterson and the living Bob Gimlin of the famous Patterson-Gimlin film of an alleged Bigfoot and smear the people in the Bigfootery community. I will do no such thing. Bigfootery in general is not a cult. It's a fortean interest no different than ghosts and UFO's. Only limited and specific elements within the Bigfootery subculture function much like a cult. Bigfooters like John Cartwright and Scott Herriott are my friends. These are good people. I would never stab their backs and drag their passion through the mud. Being into Bigfoot neither make you stupid nor makes a cultish person. Acting in sick and twisted ways where stalking is acceptable behaviour makes you cultish. My documentary will be a respectful examination of the way the Bigfoot myth has become such an interesting and pervasive part of our modern culture in places like America, Canada, Australia, the UK and elsewhere. There will be no pointing and laughing. But the scarier elements of Bigfootery such as what is happening to me right now will be briefly covered. It won't be a major part of the narrative.
I have deleted the myspace page I never used nor made. I have had my name altered on facebook to protect my privacy, as well as my settings. Other information that I do not want stalkers having is being dealt with. I am taking the necessary steps to protect myself and my son. I am contacting the Victoria Police to make a formal report and submit Internet postings of any person that has mentioned in any way making public my private information or what they think they can make public. Any poster that has mentioned using contacts in Victoria to have any contact with me whatsoever will be recorded. After I am finished making my report with the Victoria Police, I will have them advise me about making contact with the authorities in Washington State, Ohio State and anyhwere else where there are people engaged in stalking. Any person stalking is going to be dealt with. I have people very close to me working in law enforcement that I have consulted about this. The vast majority of Bigfooters are good people interested in a harmless mystery. What these select few sick stalkers are doing out of a perceived affront by me is unacceptable. if these people want to attack my arguments, I welcome them to make their case. When they are on the phone to the venues I perform in and asking for my phone number and address, they have become dangerous people that need to be dealt with by the authorities.
There is going to be an outcry for dealing with Internet stalkers. I will be making a thread called "When Bigfoot gets scary: I am being stalked." Every person does that not back off of stalking me and violating my privacy is going to get nailed. I am taking this personally as a threat to the safety of myself and my young child. These people have gone way overboard and if it all does not stop immediately, they are going to regret the decision to personally attack me.
Attention: The stalking stops now. The stalkers will be caught. I am not the enemy. This is Bigfoot. It's not the war on terror. I will do everything I can to protect myself and the people around me from the sick and twisted behaviour that is going on. This has gone way to far and the people behind it need to be dealt with by the proper authorities.
My apologies to the JREF and its membership for having such an ugly problem being addressed here. The vast majority of Internet Bigfoot enthusiasts are good people who would never do such things as is happening to me now. The people doing these things now are sick and cultish and need to return to normal, decent human behaviour. Attack my arguments, not me.

And this...
Here is the very simplest concept at work here...
1) I did not intend for my full name to be available on the Internet.
2) Bigfootery has unwell people that engage in stalking.
3) I am being stalked. Stalkers are calling my work looking for my private contact info - phone number, address, etc.
4) I have taken and am continuing to take steps to not allow stalkers to have my full name. I have altered my FB profile and deleted my Myspace page so that my name is removed.
5) A Bigfooter blog is now allowing my full name to be shown and thereby facilitating stalkers. It is morally wrong for any person who knows I am being stalked to allow stalkers to have the information and keep it out there. This is being done now...

No one needs to see what (my full name deleted) aka djkitakaze looks like. It's pretty gross. I just hope Patrica Patterson sues him for slander.

The person who allowed both my name to be posted publicly and allowed such an infantile comment on my personal appearance is immoral. Legalities aside, technicalities aside, the person who allowed that has absolutely zero integrity and has lost themselves to the petty desire to hurt a another person because they do not like them. As long as they do that, they allow for me and my young child to be at risk from the lunatics on the Internet who take Bigfoot more seriously than fellow humans.
This must stop. Those who facilitate stalkers are no better themselves.
