Buh-bye!

There are no winners in this sordid affair. We have lost even more credibility, assuming we had much if any left.

Mr. Bob Gimlin, is the recipient of unnecessary stress no heart patient should have to endure.

M K Davis is leaving sasquatchery, under a cloud of derision despite his best efforts.

John Johnsen’s reputation as a filmmaker is questioned and ridiculed.

Another case of nonsense and innuendo prevailing over common sense and veracity. Good faith investigation and “research” suffers yet another loss to the forces of dark and dubious agendas. JMHO

live and let live

ole bub and the dawgs

Sheesh…can we get back to finding BF please…

At this point I’d say let’s just get on with things and try to but this whole business behind us, but I get the feeling that this is going to lurk around for a while. Things got just a little out of hand. I hope this is a sincere statement, and I am remaining optimistic that we can move on. It sure is late for Davis to be making this statement, but as far as I’m concerned, it’s over and done. Although, it might be appropriate for some apologies to be issued as well.

I hope this sends a message to others who would try to grandstand, sensationalize, and sidestep normal scientific procedure. I really would like to see cryptozoology become a more legitimate, respectable field and not a three ring circus. In my opinion, that means not tolerating the sort of behavior we have seen here thus far. So far this had been a good example of what NOT to do if you are looking into or speculating on a new avenue of research. Hopefully new theories in the future will be treated more carefully and with some scientific respect and integrity.

I want to believe that this will really be an end to the conjecture and the whole dog and pony show.

Once again, thank you.

Let me be clear about this: We should really not fear that MK Davis’ claims will undermine the importance of the P-G film; after all these tall tales of wild shootings and murder concealments are long forgotten, the P-G film will stand as it is: an intriguing film that seems to show the existence of an unknown hominoid creature. Nothing more, nothing less.

I once wrote that Mr. Davis was at risk of becoming the Richard Hoagland of cryptozoology; seems my prediction was rather accurate.

“If the work and opinion of someone like Mr. Davis can so completely shatter ovenight the validity of the P-G film as evidence of the existence of Bigfoot, then we might have to ask ourselves this: Was the P-G film such a strong evidence to begin with?”

This is one of the most warped and illogical statements/questions I’ve seen, sorry, expressed thusfar in critiquing this matter.

Who says that the “validity of the P-G film” has been undermined? What is being questioned is what M. K. Davis says he sees in the film, the enhanced frames that he has worked on. Not the footage itself.

What has been discovered is that the Rorschach of the P-G film has resulted in observations that are being questioned and have less validity, not the Rorschach (in this case the footage) itself.

Also, the bait and switch is in play too. M. K. Davis’ beautiful stabilization was praised, so when he came along with other enhancements, at first everyone was caught with their guard down. But the more and more theories, speculations, ponytails, braids, white skin, and killing scenarios that were “seen,” the more questions began to be revealed.

Let’s not throw out the baby with the bathwater Red Pill.

In fact, I’m going to venture that the film itself stands as it has prior to the bizzare Bigfoot Massacre theory.
