That's easy because there is a genuine mystery surrounding the legends and encounters. But how do you feel about those that believe or even discuss Patty?
This wasn't addressed to me but I'm going to answer it anyway. We discuss the PGF on a daily basis so obviously that is something I am fine with. I think on one level for a person to look at the PGF and say "I don't know" is perfectly reasonable. I also think however, that if a person can think critically and know the things we know about the film and the details surrounding it and not feel with a high degree of confidence that the film is a hoax, that they are in some serious type of denial.
Try addressing the messed up anatomy that looks just like a bad suit, the major glaring matches between the William Roe account and the PGF (the whole scene and description, not just a description of the alleged creatures themselves). Try addressing the known factual involvment of Bob Heironimus with his long-time friend and neighbour, Bob Gimlin as well as Roger Patterson. Try addressing how a creature that looks and behaves the way Patty does is supposed to find food and breed and do so without ever being catalogued by science. Just try some basic logical thinking and get back to us.
The second part isn't so easy because nobody is gonna sacrifice their livelihood and family responsibilities to try and capture bigfoot.
Rubbish, rubbish, rubbish. Does it comfort you to make up this garbage? Wildlife biologists, anthropologists, and any number of academics and professionals would claw over each other to have the opportunity to be the one to be able to describe the greatest undescribed species and most mind-bending mystery in the midst of the most powerful and wealthy, heavily populated country on Earth. Bigfoot's discovery would be a dream come true for these people and if such a species did exist as described by you footers, it wouldn't take an effort that wouldn't be paid off a million times over by the discovery.
Correcting incessant misinformation is important.
If it's so important to you, then why are you such a big source of it? Like claiming that most proponents of Bigfoot here get banned within a year. You know that's not true. Any apology? Any admission? No, because you're too intellectually bankrupt and dialed into being a footer to show that kind of integrity here. Another footer who won't admit being wrong to skeptics.
Some serious researchers may need to see the proper rebuttals to some of this garbage.
Like what? Your following example sucks.
Take this for instance: Diogenes repeated statements that sasquatch isn't actually an indian word.I've pointed out to him that neither is Seattle an indian word. It's a bastardized term like so many others in the American language.
So what? I've pointed out about J.W. Burns coining the term "sasquatch" and the Salish term sesquac many times. Your rebuttal is no rebuttal at all and it doesn't mean a whit in terms of discussing evidence for Bigfoot evidence. FAIL. Next.
Besides if bigfoot is really an impossibility why even discuss it here? There are no threads about fairies, dragons, unicorns, etc. because these are impossible.
We don't have threads on faeries? Did you check? And tell us, what exactly makes giant reptiles and one-horned ungulates impossible?
Something is the originator of the legends and sightings, and that something is termed bigfoot.
I would have said people but you've got your mind made up, I see.
Besides, having the assurity of the existance of bigfoot is one thing. There are other animals that deserve more respect and study however, namely whales. There isn't much serious argument as to the importance of whales, given their speech abilities and other attributes. The only problem is with a couple countries that insist on eating these magnificent creatures, probably thinking it makes their weenies bigger or something. Like bear parts or deer antlers.
That's OT. Stick to the subject please. Japanese don't eat whales for increased penis size. They hardly eat whale at all though the goverment would have you believe otherwise. Whale was something that was eaten much more during WWII when times were lean. Now it is something that is a rarity and seen as poor food by most. The government persists in whaling as a symbolic issue to assert sovereignty and have at least one chance to say "no" to foreign pressure. Back to Bigfoot please.
