But there still seems a weetad too much wink-wink in this one. I’d give examples, but there are in truth too many from which to choose. You all will know what I’m talking about when you read it.

This is better than most; but it’s not the best I’ve read. Just sayin’; I agree that we should never look a gift horse in the mouth.

Unfortunately, these sorts of respectful treatments by the media on the subject are the exception rather than the rule. I keep hoping that articles such as this start a new trend.

It is his opinion, but I have the feeling he said it with some bit of humor, as a way to talk about the multiple backgrounds of the folks involved in some New England investigations.

It, however, is a quote from Chris, and not from Jeff Belanger or Loren Coleman. I would never say something like that, even in jest, because it has a way to come back and haunt you (pun intended).

“Cryptozoologists think that paranormal investigators are crazy, and we all hate ufologists.”

I have to honestly disagree with that statement, Loren. Nick Redfern (whose cryptozoology blog I go to on a regular basis) is ALL of those things. Paranormal investigator, Ufologist, Cryptozoologist, you name it. Is he to be hated because he’s a “Jack of all disciplines?” I don’t know where Boulanger got that statement from—YOU deal with subjects other than purely cryptozoological ones, Loren!!! If one wants to be fair, I guess one could say it would be better to say Cryptozoological, Ufo-related and Paranormal happening overlaps, and some “purists” don’t want to acknowlege that in order to keep the disciplines “separate.”

It ultimately goes back, I guess, to the oft-discussed subject of whether sightings or reports of cryptids that have “paranormal” or “Ufo”-related overtones to them should be acknowledged as worthy of study. In other words—are Nessie or Sasquatch or Ufos “supernatural?” Some people simply want to study them in purely scientific, “materialistic” terms.

Just wanted to comment on that strange comment of Boulanger’s. Over and out.
