To Mr. Tarrant,

With all due respect to Mr. Bayonov, in reading his book, ‘In The Footsteps Of The Russian Snowman”, I find him to be a bit of a romantic and too inclined to believe most of the stories he hears, especially from poor, rural folk he believes are incapable of lying. His credentials might not mean much if he’s lost his objectivity.

We all are “in a position” to “judge” the accounts of Green-Coy-Carter, and a few people are closer than Bayanov in Eurasia to make such insights after they have visited the “farm.” That’s what the original posting was all about: a link to comments from some people that have been there, not by someone from far away that merely has “credentials.”

I appreciate Doug’s opinion, after all, whether he has a Ph. D. or not, but what we need is “informed” opinions on the Tennessee fiasco, based on the examination and investigation of the evidence, in situ.

My opinion, if I am sitting in my car in Moscow, Maine, is no better than someone’s in Moscow, Russia. Nope, send me the facts from both sides from people that have been there, please.

This is “Comment” number 49.
In all the comments and opinions listed up to this high number of my #49, not one word was mentioned of the Preface in Green’s book, written by Dmitri Bayanov. He states, and I quote:
“I am in position to judge the accounts of Mary Green and Janice Coy.
I see them as truthful and in some aspects unprecedented.” Unquote.
Dmitri Bayanov
Darwin Museum, Moscow, Russia
Is there anyone on this list that can qualify with Mr. Bayanov’s credentials?
His years of research around the world, his insight, his decades of knowledge and experience?
And yet, we have a couple of women over in Tennessee (of limited education, which is stated) that may have innocently happened upon something bigger than their capacity to handle.
Women can be fragile (in most cases) and rattled to a panic state of hysteria and their only defense against us big macho “BigFoot” men is to fight, bite and scratch back. Target: Loren.
I’m not taking sides here… just stating my humble opinion. WDT

I can truly commiserate with you, Loren.

Okay, just to clarify one last thing with regard to Mary Green’s misinformed use of the word “threat,” what I said to her was what I mentioned above: if I removed the photograph which I think did not have to be removed due to fair use sanctions, I was going to do it with an explanation to my readership here. I removed it, and I explained why.

That was no “threat,” but merely what I have done before, for example regarding the Maine Mutant photos.

As I noted above: “I let Green know that if I removed the photo, I would allow my readers at Cryptomundo an insight into why this was happening, of course.”

For those that think I did not “mention” the alleged “threat” in my backstory, of course, since I did not see this as a “threat,” but had already mentioned this, there seemed no need to note this specifically. However, absence of an overt mention is now apparently being made into a mountain by some. It reminds me of Hitler’s big lie. If an explanation or future action is called a “threat,” even if it never was, often enough, some people begin to believe a “threat” existed.

Incredible.

“Folklore” doesn’t always equal fiction, but that is the best “tag” I have heard of to place on the Carter farm “Fox” tale.
