I have never been to this BFF site and from the reviews here, its sounds like no place I care to belong to… I clicked on your link above to it and saw their first mistake (it’s closed unless you join)….. Now am I reading this right that their whole stance is that Bigfoot is an ape, period! Is that what they are about? If so, the day is coming, it is going to happen (I hope in my lifetime)…... and they may be in for a big surprise. Personally I'm of the belief that BF is human or a whole other species similar to humans... not an ape in anyway….. but I can’t begrudge anyone for believing BF is an ape. BF subject matter is very serious subject when we are all trying to put the pieces together, look at the time we spend just pondering the mystery of our big biped friend….. This should be a sharing event amongst ALL researchers... some or none of our beliefs could turn out to be true or not, that’s not even the point, all researchers, including myself who by the way has never seen one BUT I have no doubt what-so-ever they are out there, I don’t need to see one to know, I just use common sense, but... I digress… on to my point, our goal should be to share our theories and information and most certainly not try to force our opinions of what this creature is upon anyone because we could all be dead wrong.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8996974684243527907.post-23983166030965186682010-07-07T02:33:39.633-07:002010-07-07T02:33:39.633-07:00Bigfoot's bLog has noticed some of the comment...Bigfoot's bLog has noticed some of the comments on here have mysteriously disappeared, despite our approving them and copying and pasting them in to our subsequent blog entry.

Bigfoot research has certainly developed into some strange behavior for some. <br /><br />Like many others I started reading and posting at the BFF over 10 years ago, not because I had any misconception that I knew it all, but I did feel that I had learned a thing or two. <br /><br />It seemed ok at first, then I began to notice how those who had a sighting were being treated and it wasn't good. It went from not good to viscous in a very short order. <br /><br />Anyone who has had a sighting will have their own perspective on what it is that they saw, and this is a good thing as they might very well contribute another piece to the puzzle. <br /><br />Questions are fine and helpful, but treating those who have had a sighting like they are some kind of foreign spy who needs to be put under spot lights and questioned mercilessly until their answers fit the BFF mold is ridiculous and not at all the way research is done.<br /><br />I would not recommend that anyone take the BFF seriously anymore and if you have had an experience in the woods don't talk about it there, better yet don't go there at all. The only thing serious about the BFF is the blindness to their own behavior is in serious need of some serious help which I have little hope will ever happen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8996974684243527907.post-1571507669673206792010-07-05T11:23:01.111-07:002010-07-05T11:23:01.111-07:00Steve-

I'm sure a significant number of those hits are from BFF mods coming over here to see if they can dig up any dirt on anyone who posts a comment.<br />That's what they do.<br />They've shown this idiotic inter-forum paranoia before. (think back to the MRP debacle)<br /><br />There aren't very many things as annoying as a small-minded control freak, and now their staff is made up of them. Redwolf and BitterMonk top that list, and their friend Blackdog is allowed to insult anyone he wants with their protection and blessing.<br /><br />Nothing ever gets advanced on that forum, only torn apart. Some folks thrive on that kind of thing, and they can have it. Most of the rest of us are simply going to pass them by. And if anyone makes any kind of discovery, they'll likely tear it apart because it wasn't shared there. Business as usual.

Everyone should be encouraged to inform themselves of all the facts, prior to being involved in a conversation. Unless you enjoy those around you appearing to be less than Knowledgeable about the issues they are discussing. <br /><br />I know you feel it more appropriate that everyone agree with you and the Admin Team of the BFF, and there is no need for anyone to form their own opinion by self-education, but really you should be promoting responsible behavior. <br /><br />I remember a day when ignorance of a subject in total, was frowned upon by the BFF.. Now it is encouraged? That is pathetic. <br /><br />I wish Brian Brown would return, and toss you all out on your butts for destroying his work. You, Teresa, and JayleeD have made a complete mess out of what was once a wonderful place. <br /><br />Members of the BFF have a right to be angry over the complete face plant that site has taken under Teresa's rule. Without member posts the BFF would be nothing. You should be thanking and appreciating their contribution. <br /><br />I have never seen a BFF Admin make such an incredibly ignorant statement.

Yep, BFF is absolutely in good hands folks. hehe<br /><br />Oh look, another person is given a week off in the Enoch thread for being bad. Or is it the status quo at BFF that is bad? <br /><br />I've got an excellent idea. If all the different groups and researchers out there could just hold off on any announcements or news makers for a few weeks, the problem could possibly solve itself. As long as there are no public news sightings, maybe, just maybe, the ones who froth most at the mouth at bff will begin attacking and consuming one another. You know, just like a bunch of rabid animals. Sure a few innocent victims may get caught in the malay, but they would be sacrificing themselves for the greater good. <br /><br />Hmm, I just had a maybe-even better idea, and more fun too. How about a blog where the sole purpose is to identify and publish for 'posterity', all the stupid asinine statements that certain people at BFF make about others.

The atmosphere is toxic. Someone posted above that every person who brings any account to the BFF is immediately placed on the defensive by the feeding frenzy that is allowed by the mods or their chosen friends, and if anyone complains about this behavior they are given a warning, suspension, or a banning. It's amazing.<br />The rules are selectively enforced, and don't apply to friends of the mods or the mods themselves. And if you've committed no infraction, but the mods don't want you posting on a subject, they will actually MAKE UP charges to level at you in order to "keep you down", or at least try. <br />And no, your PM's on the BFF are not "P" (as in Private). Yes, the mods monitor PM's there, and yes, they take action based on their content, but disguise it with the above mentioned "made up" charges. <br />I'm not going to ask anyone to boycott the BFF's because I think it's important to be able to witness this behavior firsthand. But I will say this: BE VERY CAREFUL OVER THERE because nothing you say is private, and everything you say can and will be used against you at some point if the mods decide you're not one of their "chosen ones".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8996974684243527907.post-38072379371844272842010-07-03T08:26:18.495-07:002010-07-03T08:26:18.495-07:00To add: That goes for any blog or forum too.To add: That goes for any blog or forum too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8996974684243527907.post-26666106125841436342010-07-03T08:24:03.486-07:002010-07-03T08:24:03.486-07:00Anon @ 5PM,

BFF has long been a place where some just seem to get their kicks tearing down people and their claims. Never mind that their logic most often only makes sense to a few there. Others are often afraid to stand up because they realize they may just as easily become the target themselves. THIS IS THE MODUS OPERANDI! There is a long line of undeserving people who have been abused at BFF. It has gone on for years. The Admins and many of the Mods enjoy the power trip they wield. They are a childish group who can't differentiate what it means to 'moderate'. What the leadership REALLY does there is 'enable' a regulated meanness, while finding satisfaction in being honored by subservient followers for what is actually lesser intelligent behavior. <br /><br />The BFF leadership is assimilating new clones as we speak. New mods who have demonstrated their own inept theoretical development. The leadership must surround themselves with zealous followers groomed at the same school. Individuals who have a specific view of what bigfoot is, and by golly, they are going to make sure everyone else believes the same thing AT BFF! The BFF is a lost train leading to nowhere. A bunch of old school wannabes who will never have a real encounter of their own, because their belief system won't allow them to consider anything but a giant ape is running around our woods. Sadly many naive newcomers there don't understand yet and find BFF as a fun place to chat, while the process continues of witnesses and even credential people being attacked within various threads. It really is a deadly cycle that needs more exposure because it DOES harm the field as a whole, as well as our understanding of the intended subject being discussed. <br /><br />They don't realize, their tunnel visioned limits of what they 'allow' people there to believe and discuss there, is their own reason for self failure as a group.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8996974684243527907.post-35427366756358311872010-07-02T23:45:17.964-07:002010-07-02T23:45:17.964-07:00Revision added...

To hell with the BFF!<br />Imagine a democratic state where DISSENT was not permitted. This would eventually be a state of either tyranny or bland conformity. It is one of the great rights, privileges, and duties as a citizen to engage in dissent when necessary. This is what I did on the BFF. I was playing nice and by the rules until I saw grievous injustice and irrationality; THEN I decided to rise up against it. Call it "death by cop" if you wish, but I'd rather not live in that nasty world of the BFF anyway.

I only said those things after I was attacked irrationally by a high-seniority friend of the dictatorial Administration, and then when the Administrative tyrant herself stepped in to exercise power for no reason. I was in effect told to kiss her ass, or else. I would not. So, I decided at that point they were the Enemy of Truth, and that I should go after them. The banning was inevitable, but it was not I who started it. I only finished it. With no freedom of speech, and rule by favoritism, the BFF will NEVER recover its former glories, and feedback on this blog post tells me that a great majority of BFing folks feel the same way.Steven Streuferthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07852437322070677310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8996974684243527907.post-40244593714943466452010-07-02T20:57:27.737-07:002010-07-02T20:57:27.737-07:00Steve...

Said witnesses are NEVER given the chance in a positive environment to share. The important witness is quickly forced into a defensive stance, so instead of continuing to share the positive, he/she has to spend valuable time, well defending. The unencumbered constructive flow of personal knowledge is stopped dead in its 'bigfoot tracks'. So instead of them actually wanting to learn, most there simply want to maintain their pompous know-it-all (but really know little) egos based on what they (with their lack of personal experience) think bigfoot is or isn't. Well, BFF's combined emotional equilibrium does not appear anywhere as evolved as bigfoot's seems to be. Bigfoot showed remorse towards Mike in the book. Too bad bigfoot couldn't backhand BFF into the water instead. lol And so BFF loses again, never learning a damned thing when someone comes forward. BFF is INCAPABLE of remaining positive about any new controversial topics. <br /><br />BFF is no longer a viable place to learn anything except how to professionally gang up on those who have more personal knowledge of bigfoot then they do. That is their role in the field. The main leadership there is the real problem because they enable it to happen. The main leadership there apparently lacks the social management skills to see how different approaches can bring different results. But knowing the emotional growth limits of certain people there, I guess one can't expect much more from them. <br /><br />And yes, as Melissa Hovey also stated, the PM's at BFF are read by the Admins. So if you have controversial theories that you don't want them to know you believe, well DON'T share them through a PM. That's part of how they verify who they must keep a tight reign on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8996974684243527907.post-5949879607021155532010-07-02T08:06:07.117-07:002010-07-02T08:06:07.117-07:00The reality is, the BFF may have become the most d...The reality is, the BFF may have become the most detrimental place for expanding knowledge about bigfoot there ever was. One well known researcher once said to me he doesn't even go there because its such a 'toxic' environment. Clearly that is true to the Nth Degree.<br /><br />The problem originates from the top down. I wonder if the one admin there has ever really ever seen a bigfoot as she claims, but says it so as to depict some authority/knowledge on the subject? Because it would seem that if she really did, she would be more empathetic towards other witnesses. She isn't. <br /><br />Clearly, the BFF is NOT the place to bring your sightings. They will beat you down in every way possible, believing they are being scientifically grounded and exposing hoaxers everywhere. HA!!! Most there are a bunch of ill-informed wannabe researchers that will never have a visual encounter in their life. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure there are a few good people who post there, but they are still naive and simply haven't had the incident occur yet that has chased them away. BFF is more akin to a hoard of two-legged piranha waiting for a succulent victim to come along that they can tear apart piece by piece. They are indiscriminate for the most part. Look at how they embraced Autumn Williams several months ago for her upcoming book. Those same people are now looking for whatever hole they can find to exploit in order to break what they now consider lies, and they've never read the book themselves. They think that because someone else talked about certain behavior of a bigfoot, that it must be copied by the next witness. Well how about that just happens to be a common behavior of bigfoot? Is that REALLY too difficult a concept for these phony researchers at BFF? Oh and when they hear a witness talk about bigfoot language sounding like Native American, they can't help but recall another witness who said the same thing. Jeez, it must therefore be made up right? Well how about the possibility that bigfoot were here before humans and maybe even Native Americans picked up some language from them eons ago? Or that NA's and Bigfoot communicated with one another long ago? What a bunch of blind theorists who are incapable of conceptualizing how cultures of any kind may have evolved! <br /><br />cont.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8996974684243527907.post-74175153447406841842010-07-02T00:20:24.693-07:002010-07-02T00:20:24.693-07:00Steve, I,m just an armchair, disabled internet Big...Steve, I,m just an armchair, disabled internet Bigfoot fanatic.
