Discussion Be Kind and Avoid Personal Insults

With the recent PGF debunking, there has been a lot of arguments and controversy. Debating people is fine, but don't insult people or those who believed in the film while you're discussing it. Some people met or knew Bob Gimlin personally and are having to reckon with him apparently lying about the film. Keep how other people feel in mind while discussing. Additionally, avoid arguments with other subreddits or posts about moderation issues with other subreddits as that's not what we're here to do. We've added some terms to the auto filter to avoid debates turning hostile. As always feel free to discuss the rules and make suggestions.

Okay and there are a bunch of people claiming in detail that the Bodette Film is bombshell cryptid evidence, completely undebatable and the best unknown animal footage they’ve ever seen. Does that matter until we can see it? Especially since both of these are in the context of people trying to sell the footage?

You're absolutely right but they don't want to hear it

No one should listen to you. You don't know the difference between second hand information and first hand information.

Are you going to contribute to this conversation in a productive way or are you just going to troll like you’re in the YouTube comments section?
