We all learn the hard way

It's not often that I post random thoughts and feelings about some in
this field of research, but due to recent events, I feel compelled to
do so. It took many days for me to decide to write this up.

In the short three years I've been actively doing this research, I've
learned some things the hard way.

Be careful who you associate with. Let your gut feeling about folks
guide you through your decisions. Even people who you "think" are your
friends, WATCH OUT. The big let down is when someone you look up to
looks for ways to hurt you. That cuts pretty deep.

Some people are in this for the "fame" it seems. They are afraid that
someone else is going to get the better of them or find some hard
evidence that they were not a part of. Really, does it matter who
finds it first? I could care less who discovers this creature we all
look for.

I want to stress this point, particularly to all those scanning the
internet for places to report their Bigfoot sightings and encounters
to. When you have someone or a group start asking you if you've
reported your sighting or encounter to someone else...BEWARE!!! These
are typically the people or groups who are in this for the fame and
attention. Sasquatch Watch of Virginia is in this for the study of an
unknown species. We are in this to bring a scientific approach to this
ridiculed phenomenon. There are way too many people in this world
reporting sightings of an unknown, bipedal creature in the forests of
world.

Our group has been accused of...and I quote...having a "seemingly
technical capability" in this field of research. This quote is taken
from someone who we "thought" was a good friend, someone we looked up
to. Now the group feels as if it were stabbed in the back. The name of
this individual or group will be kept confidential, as our group does
not and will not stoop to the same level.

This group does and will continue to treat everyone with respect. No
one deserves to be treated in this fashion. I hope this information
helps others out there who may just be coming into this field of
research. These are the type of things that keep people from reporting
encounters and pursuing this field of research.

Bottom line is this...

Sasquatch Watch of Virginia will continue to treat each person with
respect. There will be no ridicule of witnesses or other researchers.
A scientific approach WILL be taken on each and every sighting or
encounter report. Your information is safe with us, we never share any
information without your permission. Our group currently has folks who
are professionals in the field of science.

I thank each and everyone who continues to support our efforts!
