And with that thought in mind we're going to lay this topic to rest at GBO unless and until such time as something of more value is produced.
I've visited both Kiamichi Giants and Squatchdetective and both have locked the thread on this subject and when I finish this post I will do the same here.
Since Steve's comments at Squatchdetective seem aimed at regulars here I will post it for them to see since he has banned them at his site for conduct that he felt failed to mean his standards. Here is his comments under a post with the subject of:
FINAL POST ON TOPICWell that being said, I am locking this thread. We have discussed and discussed and discussed.
We've seen so dissenting in views, but those who have posted and dissented with others remain because they have done such with tact or without making it personal.
One thing to remember gang, as I have said before, that we agree on most things here. We know it's flesh & blood. We known the creature does exist.
We just need to ante up & prove it and unfortunately, not the P/G film, the Manitoba Footage or any other pic of film, photgraph or even audio is going to prove it.
I'm holding short of saying we need a body, because I think DNA trapping is a viable option. Only the future holds that answer.
And I also hold true to the fact that we have a whole host of people in the wings, that have joined this forum to view this very thread. Well if you have done such and are disappointed with this anti-climactic ending I apologize sincerely. After all this IS Bigfoot research and as with any science is can be arduous and mundane.
The bottom line is this. What was caught on 2chiggers Trail-Cam, when it comes to this particular picture, we may never know. Some may say they know, but truth be known no one can with any level of certainty.
I will respect 2chiggers opinion as I will also respect that of Belle. Where I personally stand is somewhere in the middle. I've seen both sides of the coin, I agree with both sides on some of the issues and I disagree with both sides on other issues.
Now I've seen posts where the obnoxious have gone (the one's who were banned from here), and they gone out and lied and stated some pretty wild things about this forum and myself (let alone what they say about 2chiggers).
They say that we're buying into 2chigger story. Well I'll say this. I listen and evaluate. What I think personally I keep for me and to whom I trust it to. I will say that it warrants further investigation, and that's exactly what Randy (fireman) set out to do.
We are quick to say we want to hear everyone's story, so it makes no sense to me tearing them apart after they have told their story.
The people that were banned from this forum also had some stories of their own. They never got a chance to post them and contribute, because they were too busy getting personal.
One was asked very nicely, and I apologized for jumping down his throat, and he apologized, and said he would behave, and within a day was back to the personal antics. So bye-bye. Now he throws this down my throat.
The other wasn't on the forum 20 minutes and was throwing obscene and personal attacks around, so I didn't give him the chance. Then he tries and reaaplies, but I caught that. Perhaps he is still here and reaaplied again. But the bottom line is: you act without respect....you're gone.
The end result a tumutuous month of posts, but it's time to end the story here for now, unless something else develops.
On to other material.
Squatch-D
I tend to agree with most of what Steve has said here. I've hassled with the same problems with the same folks here as he did there. He took a bit more drastic action than I did but then it was also one sided and I feel that here at least (I didn't see the offending post there so have no comment on them) all parties were equally guilty so had I taken the same action all would now be gone. I guess I felt it never "quite" reached that level altho it came close at times.
And here are the comments of site owner Timberghost at Kiamichi on the subject:

Is it better than the Patterson film?
Wouldn't make a scratch on Patty's ass. Geez, it don't look a damn bit different than the one posted here.
Enough time wasted on this trash...On to another topic
I'm locking this one down because it's dead in the water and wasting bandwidth.
So with this I put an end to the discussion of BM's photo at GBO.
