Editorial: What Did YOU Get Into Bigfoot Research For?

The question in the title of this post applies to ALL of us who research hairy bipeds. There have been rumors and hearsay and allegation floating around about a certain individual within the Bigfoot Community (I do not think I have to tell any of you who that is), which is nothing new because this seems to have become a prevalent thing within this community for years, but moreso since the advent of the Internet, and people have taken sides in these debates and have sided with one party or another. My question is, why is there so much rumor-mongering and conflict within this community to begin with? Is this what we got into this line of inquiry for, to go on forums and into chatrooms and on blogs and gossip about so-and-so and about what they do in their personal lives and talk about so-and-so, or did we get into this to research large, hairy bipeds? And I want people to know, I have taken part in some of this activity myself, I am not innocent of such things, and I regret those things. I am trying to be more positive in my own research and not focus on the negative, and I am attempting to stay away from controversy and gossiping about people. I am trying to focus myself and my research on the positive things and less on the gossip and BS. My point is, does gossiping about people and trashing them on forums and blogs and chatrooms further the study of large hairy bipeds, or is it just drama and Soap Opera BS? I say it is the latter. If I want Soap Opera, I will watch Days Of Our Lives. This is the last thing I will say about all this, because I do not want to be dragged in the middle of any BS or drama. This blog, from now on, will be focused on positive things and good research, whether it is with Bigfoot or Cryptozoology in general. I want to thank all those who have supported me and my blog and my new show, and I hope you will continue to do so, and let's be in this to research BIGFOOT, not someone's personal life. Thank you.
