This page captures past and future posts about the stages of being a “Bigfoot Researcher”. It seems a better way to present the information, keep the related posts somewhat organized and keep the front page of The Bigfootery Enquirer from becoming very long. Hey, there is some good stuff there, I don’t want it getting lost because people do not continue to scroll down for minutes on end.
Remember these principles:
- You can be a “Bigfoot Researcher” by simply calling yourself one.
- Your rise to other levels of “Bigfoot Researcher” is mostly limited by yourself. If you have a strong ego, can toss out a good line of BS, are relentlessly self promoting and want to invest some time you to can become a fourth or even a fifth level “Bigfoot Researcher”.
- Your rise is hardly limited by a lack of education, a lack of money, a lack of looks, a lack of creativity or a lack of values (actually lacking values will serve your rise well).
- Your mileage may vary.
The Bigfootery Equirer classifies “Bigfoot Researchers” into five levels. There is some graying of the levels, especially at the top ends.
Level 1 – The Neophyte “Bigfoot Researcher” aka, The Newbie
Level 2 – The Inter – net Social “Bigfoot Researcher” aka, The Arm Chair Researcher
Level 3 – The Bigfoot Group and Field “Bigfoot Researcher” aka, The Gander Mountain Cammo Guys
Level 4 – The Self Appointed Ruler, Junior Profiteer and Hoping to be Famous ”Bigfoot Researcher” – aka, Carney Barkers
Level 5 – The Profiteer and Iconic “Bigfoot Researchers” aka, The Mavens
The posts at the bottom of the page expand upon and give tips on how to advance through the various levels of “Bigfoot Research”.
This page has the following sub pages.
There probably needs to be a new catagory created…Bigfootery Pariah.
The resume of detractors I personally have in tow would surely make the Guiness list. From armchair wannabes to psycho felons (who travel 300+ miles to stalk your family) it is indeed a list of the best and worst of level 1-4 practioners. Sadly, tho’ when you add up ALL of their accomplishments in the realm of Bigfootery it only amounts to .02 waiting upon change.
what “LEVEL” is the BFE? Someone or some people who hide behind a screen name. too cowardly… shaking… scared…and definitley very insecure (no matter how much intellect they have) ha ha. they can only from a distance, read and re-read internet conversations, listen to radio shows, visit web sites… disecting and finding fault in everything that is out there. This seems like a “level” that needs serious help with deep disturbing issues. Are you that lonely? If your not happy with yourself, do not take it out on others. You will not gain anything from this. Kind of one of those things you learn early on in development. If your a big enough boy/girl to blog about people and add your BS comments, be big enough to show yourself. You have obviously put some time and work into this blog and the research about which you write. Too bad you have not put this effort out in the field. The mystery would be over by now if you had. Once again…. Your an…. oh, never mind. your not worth it!
We Reply: The annonymity thing was addressed previously, you should read it, although we doubt it will make sense to you. You have little clue as to how much time the BFE “staff” has devoted to this topic over the years or now. We learned many years ago that promoting the who, when, where and how is not productive and often leads to researcher pollution.
A few of you seem to want names in the worst way. Our view of that is it will result in attacking the persons instead of dealing with the issues of bigfootery that gets raised. The above is obviously such an attempt, even without specific persons to attack.
Here’s a big clue for you. This mystery is both solvable and unsolvable at the same time. Can you solve it at a personal level? Yes. Can you solve it at a societal, or scientific level? No. Do you want to solve it at a personal level? Be careful what you wish for.
“although we doubt it will make sense to you” are you insulting my intelligence? Be very careful. you can start something you will wish you wouldn’t have. dont make enemies with ones you do not know. Dont ever tell me to be careful. Actually be careful what other words you use in further responses.
We Reply, carefully – The mystery we were alluding to is the mystery of the unknown bipedal variety, nothing to do with warning someone off from this whole identity thing that has two folks flapped up. In our experience more than a few of the people who wanted to solve this mystery of the booger at a personal level, and did in some form or fashion, wish they did not. Our intent was to communicate that thought and there was a failure. We do not threaten people or try to silence them. And that is not to say that you were. Well, actually, your comment does have a tinge of threat, but it is understandable because we were not clear about our mystery comment. That’s about as careful and tactful as this particular author can be.
