Today any nobody with a computer can be famous for basically nothing–and most have no trouble with settling for being infamous if it comes down to it. Having bragging rights to being “the guy that________”–or being on the local news for 10 seconds–would be the high point of some people’s lives. It’s hard for people with pride, ethics and true accomplishments to grasp that fact, but unfortunately it’s a sad reality.

When it comes to true research you cannot trust in common decency–or the fact that people would be ashamed to be seen as cheats, liars, or scam artists. For them it’s a small price to pay when it comes to ill-gotten fame and easy money.

I know people want real proof, but it ain’t coming from Tom Biscardi, Matt Whitton Or Dick Dyer. Period.

This whole episode is nothing but a serious blow to what little credibility this field had achieved.

It’s my interpretation that those two thought, wrongly, that the Bigfoot community was comprised of foolish, gullible, powerless and naive idiots who “deserved” to be “taught a lesson”. They seemingly thought they’d jerk a few people around and come away with a big funny-haha water-cooler joke thing they could show their friends. Unfortunately, the cryptid community is not quite as vulnerable or small or mindless as they thought.

I posted a comment several weeks ago stating that they were in waaay over their heads, but still they pushed on. Even now i wonder if they, or their friends/family, aren’t monitoring these forums looking for another way to exploit this. If they push it too far they could end up in jail.

And- i’ve read that Whitton, far from being a “hero”, was actually shot trying to keep a person from taking his weapon. It’s a poor cop who gets shot by his OWN firearm. And Dickie Dyer couldn’t handle (ie wasn’t tuff enough) being a correctional officer so they decided to attempt to bully and defraud a group they perceived to be vulnerable. Not exactly the actions of upright citizens.

Since Loren’s already pretty well exposed Biscardi i’ll leave that topic alone. Folks- look elsewhere for the mysteries in the world, because they are being discovered by Dickie Dyer and Gary-boy Whitton.

What was “paranormal” about the claims by supposed flesh and blood advocates..that they had a dead…flesh and blood bigfoot.?
They were just grifters…with as much evidence as flesh and blood advocates of sasquatch had anyway,ie ..none.

The man has lost the tiny little bit of credibility he had, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see him suffer the same fate as the out-of-work cop because of this.

It hurts to be tricked. I know I feel great disappointment. Now its time to move on…

Same registrar or not, what’s the hoax of a hoax? Either way, hopefully, for the sake of the “real” Bigfoot Cryptozoology community, no stone will remain unturned and the truth will be revealed, whatever that truth may be. Sounds like we’re getting one step closer anyway.

It’s not that I’m nieve, but, when a police officer, a man of integrity and honor says something it usually is(was) the truth.

This man really did an unjustice to all the honest hard working police officers out there.

Unfortunately my opinion has changed and I will always be guarded by witness testimony including that of any police officer.

Is this the same as throwing the baby away with the bath water? I don’t care!

I suspect that Lorens frame of mind was as mine… a sworn officer of the law doesn’t go around telling lies.

I would guess that many of us got hoodwinked just because of this.
