		<description><![CDATA[By attacking others he has exposed himself for the charlatan he is. If I were trying to do what he is attempting I&#039;d certainly at the very least identify the top people in the field including the foremost authority/researcher/author (Loren).

This guy is thoroughly unprofessional and can&#039;t even be bothered to research before opening his mouth. He certainly has shown what a tool he is and IMO isn&#039;t worth wasting space on Cryptomundo.

He obviously does need more RAM and maybe an internet connection. Even a library card would suffice.]]></description>

Hmmmmmm, dry &#039;British style&#039; humour is very much alive and well and there is nothing wrong with it. It&#039;s very very popular still in a lot of places. Of course, you have to &#039;get it&#039; to find it funny. 

This guy Hart is obviously on the wind up and knows full well Loren isn&#039;t a woman. At least he isn&#039;t being really nasty.......unlike a certain couple of hillbillys from Georgia not so long ago.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I always try to put things in perspective. I am lukewarm on this Leigh Hart situation. Now that former cop, Georgia Bigfoot hoaxer, oh, I wanted a piece of that redneck. He was baiting. He was malicious. He was a total moron. Everything he did was to create havoc. Most of the time, his intentions were with malice. Although sometimes, his stupidity was unintentional and ended up being malicious, although unintentional. He was someone I could go after with pleasure.

But this guy Leigh Hart, seems to pale in comparison to the Georgia boy. If you ever played poker, I was all in on the Georgia boy. But I can&#039;t even ante up on this nonstory.

If we take this guy at face value, he claims to be a comedian. I use the word claim, because personally, I do not find him at all humorous. I go for more highbrow humor. And his humor is more childish and immature. He&#039;s just not that funny in my opinion. A big fail!

If his intended comedy is directed to those who enjoy sarcasm, there are many other comedians and documentary people that do a better job of tongue-in-cheek type of documentaries. He is not in their league.

So let&#039;s say his attempts at comedy are a huge failure. The majority of the people do not like him. And then he attempts to explain himself and offer an apology. Well, his apology certainly could have been much better. It lacked some sincerity. But at least he half heartedly attempted to apologize, which is more than I can say for the Georgia boy. 

His attempted apology missed the mark and he did identify people at the conference in a not so flattering manner. It was clear who he was talking about. And then he denied he really identified anyone. So he is not totally forthcoming and truthful with his half hearted attempt at an apology.

Let&#039;s summarize: He is a not so funny mockumentary guy. He realized he offended some people and at least tried a half hearted apology and attempted to move on. This is evident by his own words when he states that some will not let this story die a natural death. 

I believe his was not prepared with the fallout that took place after his attempt at comedy. It appears to me, that he just wants this to go away and be water under the bridge. But when someone does what he has done, offended people and gave an insufficient apology that was not totally earnest, well....

Of course he had some attention over this. He had some unexpected popularity in the way of negative attention. He site got plenty of hits. He even admits he had to upgrade his memory. So is that a good or bad thing.

Well, he is certainly hearing about his failed attempted comedy. But he is also reaping the benefits of publicity. There is no such thing as bad publicity. There is just publicity. 

By intentionally confusing Loren&#039;s name as a female name might be intentional or unintentional, I can not judge what the man is thinking. But I can judge his lack of investigation on the matter. Loren is well known worldwide. And Loren, you mentioned how you were known with your books and postings and actual work in the field for decades, but you left one thing out. You left out your numerous appearances on television and in new stories as an expert in the field. I will add that to the list of credits since you failed to mention it. Your name is readily recognizable in the BigFoot community as well as in the worldwide cryptozoological community. 

I would equate Leigh Hart to a person who is watching a golf match for the first time. He attends the match and sees Tiger Woods in knickers, a funny hat and eyeing up an eight foot putt. He makes notes. He then is amazed by the golfers as they approach the ball before teeing off. He writes down, &quot;They look funny, have anxiety before hitting the ball and when making putts, take an eternity for such a short putt.&quot; 

He basically does not understand the game and the intensity behind the players and the game. What he thinks are observations or harmless comments, are considered offensive to the golf community. But what is clear, is that he does not have a deep or as deep of an understanding of the game by the fans and the people involved. What he considers harmless comments are considered offensive to most. I believe this is what happened here. Since he is not a golfer and will never play golf or probably attend a match again, he is not too concerned. But then the fallout comes from the golf community and the PGA. So he writes a halfhearted apology to be done with it. He is moving on to soccer or another sport. Just as he is moving on from Bigfoot and on to other areas of so called comedy. But the criticism keeps coming in. It helps with publicity but necessarily with his popularity.

I think this is what happened here. Did he intentionally or unintentionally genderbend your name? I do not know because I can not read into the heart of Hart. But he certainly does not attack and antagonize the community with the same venom as the Georgia boys. Not even close! I would not give him a pass but I certainly would not hold the same level of animosity towards him as the Georgia boys.

And for those reasons and the analogy above, I can only get lukewarm on slings and arrows directed at the heart of Hart. Now the Georgia boys, load up my quill!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Let me state this once again, in a different way, since I think so much focus is remaining on the &quot;wrong gender&quot; mistake, conscious insult, and/or wrong-headed comment of Leigh Hart&#039;s.

What I find more significant is Leigh Hart&#039;s &quot;tarring everybody with the same brush&quot; again by his attack on me and characterization of me simplistically, as a &quot;blogfooter.&quot;  By viewing researchers into two camps, one being the &quot;field researchers&quot; whom Hart says he praises here, despite how he talked about them earlier, is Leigh Hart&#039;s try to split up people into stereotyped factions.

Most Bigfoot writers and bloggers have done fieldwork, of course, and field researchers go on to be authors and bloggers.  

But Hart&#039;s world is one of simple designs and idiotic remarks based on his own realities that shift based upon what mental constructs suit his largest video, column, and rationalizations.]]></description>
