Let us hope that everybody involved in the subject will do so also. Let us face it anyone who does donate, and does so because they love the subject, really should have a right to see where their money has been spent.Big Cats in Britainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02616600446165332341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6277524514587948276.post-51469506299729227202010-05-07T23:47:21.070+01:002010-05-07T23:47:21.070+01:00Lyndsey, why single the BCIB out, what is your rea...Lyndsey, why single the BCIB out, what is your reason for this. Donations to the group are made from time to time, everything is spent on the group and much more besides out of my pocket. We now have our own bank account and all money that comes in (which is very, very little) is all accounted for and tracable. The BCIB do this for the love of the subject, it is most certainly not a way to gain extra money. And if you are mentioning the BCIB for the fact that you think this Highland Tiger is something to do with us, I should think again. If I have anything to say I will say it out in the open to anyones face. But one thing I do agree with is that why should we not be accountable for the money that comes into us, what is wrong with that. It is a fact that I have only just become aware of this site and the Highland Tiger due to an email sent to me a couple of days ago. If people want to bicker, and side with an imaginary feud then that is up to the individual, but leave the BCIB out of it please. We have much, much better things to do.Big Cats in Britainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02616600446165332341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6277524514587948276.post-41838016891344615892010-05-06T03:49:16.152+01:002010-05-06T03:49:16.152+01:00Well Lindsay, the hair thing was a glass house sta...Well Lindsay, the hair thing was a glass house statement. I'm surprised you didn't pick up on that. Nobody "HAS" to prove anything to anybody. But instead of throwing mindless insults as Mr. Arnold did, ignore the obvious, and keep quiet.....or show some pride in your profession....or hobby. After reading the Semantics post at CFZ....arrogance must be a large part of it as well.Cryptofloridahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03035419163737762478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6277524514587948276.post-12239216165368355762010-05-05T20:35:16.915+01:002010-05-05T20:35:16.915+01:00You are very correct here HT in your latest respon...You are very correct here HT in your latest response. It is my view that the current state of cryptozoology is just as damaged (if not more) by the money grabbers and let's face it, people who just want to do this rather than pay the bills any other way as the inner fighting or personal vendetta's that Tabitca mentions. Your survey of where donations and money are spent without asking financials is ground breaking and I wish you all the best. It may take some a while to respond so I would not be quick to judge but the list is something that every crypto enthusiast should read before considering a donation. Great job!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6277524514587948276.post-79661719781180883122010-05-05T17:51:53.086+01:002010-05-05T17:51:53.086+01:00Dearest Tabitca, As I have said, the survey will b...Dearest Tabitca, As I have said, the survey will be done over a number of months. To date I have only contacted the bigfoot groups, some creationist sites, and a couple of general crypto groups including the CFZ, who strangely enough did not reply. It'll be interesting if they ever get charity status, if they will continue this stance.<br /><br />I'm not saying the CFZ have anything to hide, but seeing as they claim to be a non profit organisation, with no money being paid to any of the directors, you have to wonder what they spend the donations and publishing profits on.<br /><br /><br />I still have to contact the big cat and sea/lake creature groups. This will be done, later in the summer.<br /><br />I will admit, I did hope that I would get more replies. But I certainly did not expect to though. One of my aims was to prove just how insular the world of cryptozoolgy is. It is full of cliques and in fighting, with very little cooperation and a propensity to stay safe in their own little worlds. <br /><br />It's time these people were forced out into the open. It's time someone questioned their "evidence" and their "motives". <br /><br />Because to be honest, looking at all the people searching for cryptids, everyone one of them failing to find proof of their quarry, the current state of play hasn't worked too well has it.The Highland Tigerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10639696093561874029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6277524514587948276.post-16865365742662978752010-05-05T16:55:44.577+01:002010-05-05T16:55:44.577+01:00Tg I am surprised at you resorting to personal ins...Tg I am surprised at you resorting to personal insults about appearance.Anorak is some one who is obsessed with their hobby. It comes from train spotters who apparently always wore anoraks.You could say we are all anoraks in cryptozoology. <br />HT I am not your "love" so please don't patronise me, it is not clever .As for not being important ...I would not wish to be important to you, nor any other person who brings cryptozoology down by personal vendettas. I would feel insulted if I were important in your sphere.<br />BTW was BCIB on your survey? I don't see it.Have you updated your survey yet? It seems that only USA groups are on. There are lots of research groups in the UK,usually under paranormal but who also look at cryptozoology.It just seems that you haven't contacted many UK groups or is it that they haven't answered? Just wondered in the interests of fairness in this survey of yours.Tabitcahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00685620846174596978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6277524514587948276.post-57809745616758352132010-05-05T14:30:59.529+01:002010-05-05T14:30:59.529+01:00Not really familiar with Brit slang.....but.....: ...Not really familiar with Brit slang.....but.....: From WIKI==ANORAK (slang).....In British slang an anorak (pronounced /ˈænəræk/) is a person, usually male, who has a very strong interest, perhaps obsessive, in niche subjects.<br />Then it goes on to a meaning describing a geek or someone with a mental handicap. All I can say to this is...Neil....Who does your hair? <br />Maybe the (ANORAK's) are right....in expressing a very strong interest in..........the truth!!!<br />Maybe...it's a case of the pot calling the kettle black!<br />Maybe its another case of arm chair cryptozoology.<br />I go to the CFZ website to check posted facts only. And they are quite questionable at times, but I choose to carry a to each their own mentality.<br />If as much energy would be put into providing proof to back up their spouts.....this entire conversation would be moot.<br />As I stated previously......If your spout is theory....call it that. If it is truth......offer the proof. Stop petty bickering and back your words up.Cryptofloridahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03035419163737762478noreply@blogger.com
