I have said it before and I will say it again but the Mods and Admins here have a very challenging job. And, whether or not it is intentional or not, this forum is being split apart. and a huge part of that has to do with the LODO techniques and the "insistence" in the facts that it is indisputably the best way to brew beer .... period.
I applaud any new information that comes to the front but it seems like some folks need to validate their discoveries to the point of insistence that is simply not necessary. Then come in and point the fingers at other mods or admin because they feel their methods aren't getting the credence they deserve.
But the mods have to keep this a forum that is open to all and sometimes "highly advanced" methods can be insisted upon that defeat the purpose of the simple pleasure of brewing a great homebrewed beer with a "ZapPap" double buckeyt mashtun ... or (heaven forbid) batch spraging!
Now we have folks who are saying "I don't even feel comfortable posting here" and that is a serious problem. We, as mods and admins, do our best to keep the peace. I'm sure the LODO Zealots (that's a better word than Nazi) just want to point the fingers at the Mods and Admins for us not just letting them have free reign of the forum. But, FORTUNATELY it doesn't work like that.
Bryan, you need to write a book or open a brewery or something. Seriously. validation will be there.
