I'm actually really surprised at the lack of moderation. Normally warning points and thread shutdowns would have occurred by now. He has been allowed to be pretty abusive and personal with me and no moderator has lifted a finger. That does not usually happen there.
I rather like it. I don't enjoy overly moderated forums, but this seems out of the norm for the BFF. New admins, I think. Maybe they are just trying to figure out if the membership has had enough of me, and then I'll be ousted or something. |

Or allow it to be so horrible and ugly that you just walk away from the forum.

That Branco person is certainly testy when called out as well. All the major bigfoot bull ******** are when you get down to it. I think they forget they are telling very silly stories targeted towards fabulists, and when someone not very silly points this out, indignation ensues.
All that's needed is for that Coonbo feller to come out from under the fridge to pimp his footie podcasts. |

Is this the BFF? I think I lasted less than 48hrs on there, and I don't even recall typing anything that would be considered particularly offensive, I just essentially questioned some obvious weirdos about their obvious weirdo beliefs, which is all anyone would do.
Personally speaking, there's no real reason for me to participate in a forum based around a belief in silly things if I can't do the obvious thing and point and laugh, especially when dealing with obvious yarn-spinners. If a person genuinely holds a belief, it can be a bit touchy to go in guns blazing, but when you know you're chatting with a bunch of middle-aged men who are essentially playing make-believe, it's an obvious reaction to want to point and laugh and say things like really, though? |

It seems odd that folks that proclaim themselves attorneys and snipers and researchers would hook up with such a silly fringe belief. Of course, that's allowing them the benefit of doubt that they're attorneys and snipers and researchers and stuff. I realize that there are credules in any occupation but the bigfoot thing is just so silly. It's 2017, grow up people.

I don't recall. I don't tend to pay that much attention to what he says. He's basically just a watered down version of the nonsense his bigger brother spews constantly. He's a non entity. |

The passing fascination I've had with DWA is that nagging if not innate disbelief that people like him really exist. I've not read a whole bunch of his stuff but I don't think I ever read a singularly funny or intelligent thought by the man. So many words and it's all insipid pablum. He seems like the kind of guy who wants to shoot his neighbor because the guy has a parakeet. A full 180 degrees off from pretty much the rest of humanity yet has no idea. He's the guy who put the clueless in clueless.

I don't think they believe it, no. Not at all.
Because if they did, their actions would prove the belief. If you've actually ever seen a migration or know anything about them, it's quite a spectacle. Like the Elk migration in and out of Yellowstone. If a person says he just adores this animal and knows about their migrations, then he'd be proving up on that claim. But we know his camera would fail at just the wrong moment. So there's no use in attending a migration. |

I'm convinced that if you gave DWA and MIB a match, they'd have serious trouble getting it lit.

Which, ta-da, is all DWA has ever managed to do as far as I can tell. Wait, nevermind, it's all about "the data", I forgot. I think somebody accidentally opened a dictionary last year and told these idiots the definition of data and it was kismet, they were hooked. Bigfoot was now about "the data", not "the bodies". Cause "the data" is pure and uncorrupted and sacred, and it doesn't lie because it can't, it's too gawd-like. And pure. And sacred. "We don't need a body, my Wham-O Monster Detector Helmet With Phony Siren® will tell us all we need to know." Yeah, it's about "the data" alright. |

Recently, a dude named Incorrigible 1 nicknamed DWA Foghorn Leghorn. The single funniest intentional thing I've seen at the BFF.
ETA: And Mr. Leghorn is necro-ing threads like a mo-fo again. Someone has really gotten to him; he's having a crisis of confidence. "Ah say boy . . . Ah-ah-ah say boy" |

I dubbed him Foghorn Leghorn in the Tar Pit a couple of years ago. I even photoshopped a Foghorn Leghorn avatar using his avatar and adding the Foghorn Leghorn parts to it. It was pretty funny. I used it as my avatar for a while. I'll see if I can find it in photobucket, I think that's where it is. Of course, the only ones on the general forum that got it were people that were also in the Tar Pit.
Can't find it. That's a bummer. I did find this one though His toes must have curled up at the sheer Binderblasphemy of it! I also found my brave explorer photo. Me, in the Desolation Wilderness. Not terribly desolate, or wild. I believe that is Lake Tahoe in the background. I was about 3 hours from the trail head. It's probably still more remote than WSA's avatar shot. |

Apart from that road on the next ridge, it looks pretty desolate.

Well, you're responsible for the funniest intentional thing ever at the BFF.
ETA: As for that phony WSA, and his phony adventure avatar, here's an answer to his tremendously difficult question:

I'm glad somebody's regularly giving him a hard time. He's a certifiable head case. Foghorn Leghorn so works. Too self assured to not know he doesn't know anything.
And since I'm apparently compelled genetically to bust people's balls including pretty much everyone I know (), I've regularly used the term "joke son" since high school. |

FYI
The complete movie of SASQUATCH GANG is on Youtube. It is really a great representation of Bigfootry https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWtlMjwLqtY |

That DWA just claimed he had "innumerable" bouts with Ben Radford. Were they just in his head?

How many is "innumerable" ?
And yes, it's all in his head. |

So I was in the field the other day, tent-camping solo 'cause I had field work in a remote area. A bunch of coyotes serenaded me to sleep and one kept waking me up every so often during the night. How do I know these weren't bigfoots mimicking coyotes?
