As for the others, i...Why would you discount Loren?<br />As for the others, it depends on how you perceive Cryptozoology. As you may know, I take the view that Cryptids are not what they appear to be - perhaps Tulpas, thought-forms, something weirder. So, my views on the Top Five would relate to those researchers who are open to such views, rather than solely those who take the flesh and blood approach (but who certainly don't discard it of course).<br />So, I'd say Jon Downes, Neil Arnold, Linda Godfrey and Richard Freeman - in terms of being open to both sides of the crypto-coin (flesh and blood and paranormal). But for the remaining one, I still have to say Loren, as he's the most well-known, recognizable person in the field. No, we dont agree on everything - but do agree on quite a bit! - and the field would be vastly different (in a negative sense) without his involvement. So, I dont see any reason to discount him when he should be listed.Nick Redfernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02198543983413599418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3011648106646252813.post-37011463205682226942012-07-11T15:59:50.293-07:002012-07-11T15:59:50.293-07:00Discounting Loren, who?
