Bigfoot - serious, not follies

Erik is here and it is a new ball game.

I said this in 1995 on Henry Franzoni's IVBC list, and all hell broke loose. I introduced the paranormal/supernatural/tulpa/alien concept, and was immediately attacked most viciously
by all the non-researcher newbies there. (This has continued on most all boards ever since). However
Henry himself was a secret supernaturalist, and I had many
beer-soaked phone talks with him, and after he speciously
attacked me to his list to "preserve his cred" (ho) and stay in with
Dahinden etc, I then OUTED him and posted some of his
para experiences.

He caved in and went para in public, and in a few months turned over the board to others (Matt M -- ugh) to run so as to preserve
not his cred, but his job. ($$$$$$$talks).

Well, here, I note that LAL is busy "quoting Meldrum"
all over as if this makes any difference. Ditto Dr Swindler.
I know both, had Darris over for dinner, and talk often to Jeff.

Nothing either says makes an f&b bf exist. Not proven.

BUT we have tracks that end in snow and mud, for no good reason

and which also start from nowhere and this royally bugs
non-researcher newbies like LAL and his buddies on
bigfootforumsbuffoons-com.

Now they ban me there because I once cussed out someone who
cussed me out first, but also because i offer good, hard, reasoning and events and evidence that shows their F&B
idea is totally "so 1900s".

Now, send your brickbats, bad logic, and so on to me here or
visit http://www.bigfoot.org and get the real truth, as far as we know it.

Also I am at rudy@stealthaccess.net



I also note that most posters lack the basic cojones to say
who they are

unless this is in their profiles, and I doubt most are.

Iam -- Jon-Erik Beckjord, MBA, director, the Bigfoot Investigation Project and yes, I once thought like you do
but I encountered evidence, and I am no fool, that made me
change. 29 years at this. I am a "semi-expert" snce nobody except abductees is an actualy expert, but I did interview two of those. (Will be in my book).

So --- have at it -- I can take your very worst. And then convert you.

Erik

So were you serious in the other thread when you said this:

From Bigfoot.org
The Bigfoot Investigation Project - Directed & curated by Jon-Erik Beckjord, a UC Berkeley MBA who was arrested and jailed for his beliefs (like Galileo) on what Bigfoot really is, and after 29 years of research, has some answers.
Let me just say that for starters, I find your website incredibly offensive. Not for the content, but for the terrible, terrible design. It's quite possibly one of the worst sites I've ever seen.

And then there's the content.. A guy comparing himself to Gallileo claiming that Bigfeet are aliens dropped off by UFOs.

I'm afraid you have a bit of a hard sell here, my friend.

Is this realllllllllllllly important?

What are YOUR priorities?

I'd rather do field work and have a rough website, than
have a great website like BFRO and do fraud in their expeditions.

Let's get positive.

If you are good at web design, tell me how to keep a
stack or column of titles from moving left and right
after it was saved and moved to the main server?

I use wysiwyg editing and do not use html directly.

BUt I can access the html in an html editor,

so what can I do to make the columns stay in line?

It shouldn't matter whether it was moved to the server or not.

You understand that Bigfoot is not proven by science to be an f&b animal. It is also not proven by science (nor me) to be
a supernatural being. On the other hand, if it were, I would not
bother being on this board, but would be in Stockholm getting the Nobel Prize. Right?

All I can do is show supernatural ACTIVITY such as tracks that disappear, and for you to believe, you need to be in the woods
with me and you ain't.

BUT on my website there are photos of such tracks
from Brian Smith's video.

Many of you will sluff this off and call me a liar.

(I tell no lies... Eagle Scout and USAF Academy cadet.)

Now if this is not enuff, and stills never are, I will not lose sleep if
you do not accept it. (as if I care...)

My respect is for field researchers who GO OUT and share and witness this stuff...

Brian Smith, Henry Franzoni, Shelly Binkley, Peter Guttilla,
StanGordon and others.

(but not anonymoist posters)

Many of you will live in denial, a place in Egypt.

If you're talking about your website, I choose 'Not', thank you very much.

Well, at least he started a new thread so the troll-zotting can remain contained.

When you think about it all footprint trails have to start and end somewhere. I suppose now every trail of footprints someone can't find the beginning or end of is proof that someone is phasing in and out of another dimension.

Somehow I find that your statement, whatever it is that you're trying to state (bigfoot is an alien abductee? he's an alien? he's from another dimension? he's a ghost of some sort? What is it you're trying to say here?) stretches the bounds of credibility, Mr. Beckford. I suggest you refrain from ingesting DMT before posting.

And driveby posts suggesting that people check out your website are a poor way to generate hits. I suggest spamming by email instead.

Have a nice day, good luck with ... all that.

It hasn't been proven to even exist by science.

Show us a DNA sample, or better yet, a specimen. Then we'll believe that Bigfoot exists. From what you're showing us, however, there doesn't seem to be anything going on.

Very unimpressive photos that could be just about anything.

I won't. I suspect you're in the category of delusional.

Photos never are enough. DNA, specimens, or equally extraordinary evidence, please.

I also respect field researchers. Too bad I've never heard of a Bigfoot field researcher coming back with anything worthwhile. Like DNA or specimens.

Mr. Beckjord -

Here's an HTML trick that you might not know about - the "blink" tag. You can use it anywhere on the page that you want to draw attention to a certain set of words. Put those words between "blink" an"/blink" tags. It's even more effective when it's used a lot on a page.

Yeah I hate those anonymoist posters.

Denial of non-existent evidence you mean? And as opposed to you, who seems to live in a sparkly dream world populated by magical elves and pixies? [/b]

Fluffer -- describes you well,

but there is another definition, used in the porn industry,

for a lady who , uh, "prepares" the male actor......

if you get my drift....

You have to disguise the cod liver oil with sugar and cream...

GET IT?

Besides, lots of trivial folks here....

who play for the laffs.

COMPRENDO?

but credit for seeing this is a major, revolutionary idea. AND IT IS!

I'm doubting you because you say fuzzy blobs that could be anything are proof of bigfoot. Give me DNA or a specimen.

I've seen a large number of "ghost" photos. They only feature dust, hairs, .jpeg compression artifacts, or nothing at all. Ask mayday about them. Maybe you can show me some of those photos you're talking about. I need a good laugh.

No one's accused you of lying (at least no one I've seen). I think you're just plain wrong.

Most of you guys think name-calling is actual debate.
You're the one with the most ad hominems going on, and no evidence. You only have a handful of photos that you haven't even attempted to show aren't the result of pareidolia.

nOW,NOW,NOW, where did I ever say the photos are proof of Bigfoot, ??? Where?
I presume you can read, so did you NOT read my disclaimers???? Tsk! I expect more from skeptix.
The photos are indicators that something alien or weird might exist in some form or another.And I never,never,never said this is proof. TSK,TSK!

Ad hominems? Count them.....all by others, I just reply and then people cry.

If you already know stills are not enough, and never are, and you also don't care if we accept your evidence, why, exactly, have you come here?

Just curious.

Also, didn't someone admit that he faked that "famous" bigfoot video?

1) so you believe any statement as long it implies a hoax.

2) you believe anything you read in the papers?

3) bonk!

4) I am here to fish for the 2% intelligent ones to bring to our side. MOST OF YOU DO NOT QUALIFY

BUT it is worth it.

Already have 6 favorable PMs --- complimenting me for having the guts to post here. The lions den, the BELLY OF THE BEAST.

Nope. I don't believe the moon landings were hoaxed. It'd be a lot easier to go to the moon than to construct such a huge conspiracy.

Yes. I believe a sizable piece of what's in there. I also disbelieve a sizable piece.

Ow.

How do you intend to fish without bait? Skeptics respond to evidence. You've already admitted you don't have proof.

They're probably trolls. Trolls are only interested in supporting their closeminded ideological agenda. Skeptics are only interested in evidence.
