That is my point. It has gotten me to wondering how many people have actually seen a sas, failed to document it at all, then been so obsessed with showing people what they believe to be a real creature that they went on to hoax things. Then, by association with that hoax, everything they ever say, no matter how true it may have been, will become suspect. I’m sure this must have happened on quite a few occassions. It really is a shame. It’s a shame that possibly good information can be tarnished in this fashion. But you know what they say, fall for it once, shame on you. Fall for it twice, shame on me!

Yep, mystery_man, and you have to think that …well, check that, there are a number of reasons that more than one person who apparently had a real sas experience then moved on to counterfeiting them, an act that tossed everything he saw and did into question.

Shame, that. But if you don’t quarantine the bad, then it’s all bad by association.

I think Daniel Loxton made a great analogy when he said:

“To my ear, it sounds something like, “After surprisingly finding ten million dollars in his basement, Mr. Smith then suddenly became a counterfeiter for the first time.”’

That’s pretty much what I think about this.

I’m not tired of tracks. There’s enough study of them now to show which ones are genuine and which ones aren’t, by looking for signs of dynamism, skin patterning etc. Follow the tracks, find a bigfoot.

I’ve read quite a few case studies (yes, anecdotes/stories, but if it were medical they’d be case studies so why not here?) where people have been following fresh tracks only to stop because, quite rightly, they were afraid of what they might find. It only takes one person to overcome that fear and…proof, or not.

See? See? I’m not the only one tired of tracks!
That having been said: There doesn’t appear to be any reason for John Green to be perpetuating this hassle. Fer petes, man, these tracks are half a century old! Evolution could have changed the shape of their feet by now! But seriously, folks. Let it go, man.

The “community” is the only chance, I think, that amateurs truly have of bringing in conclusive evidence. Fighting is not serving that end. And DEFINITELY not fighting over this. A big time case study in how, when you’ve gone too far, “returning were as tedious as go o’er.” Hard cheese, Macbeth. When you gotta fold ‘em, you gotta.

Toss these, and start looking for the animal. (And I’m still all ears for how we can confirm “real” tracks without a confirmed species to put them with.)

If there are 3 people in this world not to believe, Ray Wallace is one of them. Cliff Crook and Tom “I captured a bigfoot-oh you misunderstood what I really said, later” Biscardi being the other two.

I know I always sound crazy, but what if the Bigfoot issue were examined in the late fifties by a goverment agency and they followed established practice? I refer to the Air Force tactics demonstrated at Roswell. When containment of evidence proved impossible they implemented plausible deniability. It worked there and I suggest it worked again here.

lol.

In the cartoon in my mind, the researchers are poring excitedly and argumentatively over a couple of Bigfoot prints, while the Bigfoot are behind them examining THEIR footprints

Could it be possible that ol’ Ray had a love for these creatures and thought to steer others away with his fake tracks?

Just a thought.

Also is anyone offering a reward for good sasquatch footage?

Might bring out old stored footage in somebodies basements.

And yes, I too am a little tired of hearing about tracks.

But I do understand that there isn’t too much new news on the topic of our ol’ wooded friends.

Besides it’s an anthropologistic approach for the study of Ol’Sassy.

It’s just about all we got of them besides a few hair samples ‘n footage, which is scarce.
