Show me the quote where someone said George is ALL wrong
[/quote]

C'mon that's an easy one.

"Trucker sorry to have to tell you this, I'll put it more bluntly that NZChris did , George is an idiot, following him or his advice will lead you down paths that are just plain out wrong. Hes already caused a shit load of trouble around here."

Now the words "plain out" were used here, not the word ALL but its safe to say in this case the phrase and the word can be used interchangeably.

" that people such as George, are allowed to influience people in the wrong direction.. "

In this case the word "wrong" was use followed by "direction" insinuating that if one uses his advice, their skill set will end up somewhere other than where writer of the quote believes someone should be. So if George does not influence people in the right direction and only the wrong direction, that makes him ALL wrong.


''and if you do watch them don't believe a guy named George ! We are getting an influx of his followers lately and they just can't seem to grasp that he is teaching people incorrect information. +1. George’s “hypnotic” narratives have lead many 1st time distillers astray "

And again, one has to read between the lines just a smidge here but this quote says not to "believe him" and that he teaches "incorrect information". It doesn't say believe some of him, but also not all of him so it has to be assumed that anything he says is not to be believed, making him ALL wrong.

I dont know George, dont hate his videos and did learn to be skeptical of his stuff from this place which is great. Anyone who uses both venues will notice the cautionary statements right away because they are everywhere here. That is not a bad thing. I started questioning him myself when I saw him making a boiler out of a coated pot. The gasket trick I thought was neat though, until I learned here that silicon is frowned upon.

As far as me and the drama, I did not bring it here, it found me and its leeching from the letter themselves waiting to burst in this place. But your right. My post was a pot stir, I apologize. The next thing I post IF I have anything else to say at this point, will be more useful, and I will attempt to not infuriate any of the elders with my questions. If I get talked down to again for an honest discussion...different story perhaps.

The fundamental problem that humans suffer from is that it is much easier to fool someone than to convince them they have been fooled.

If you can figure out how to do this diplomatically, you have a big career in politics ahead of you.

PIDs for example. Despite mountains of empirical evidence to the contrary, some ill informed people want to argue (not even the superiority) the use of them, when there is a better, cheaper, faster, proven by experts, option available.

i mean honestly, is it not just easier to say, "damn, you are right and ssr with a rheostat is a better solution i think i'll spend the whole 22.50 and get something that works properly"

than to spend days pissing and moaning about how the PID helps you "stabilize your column at 134*F" (a direct quote from our friend george in his videos) why the f*&K would you want to spend an hour of your life stabilizing anything at 134*F?

videos are the instant gratification of learning. enough to get you to think you know something. watch a few pilot training videos and then go hop in a cessna and see how you do with out an instructor or some book learnin'.

C'mon that's an easy one.

I think you're being disingenuous here. What really matters is that George is giving out bad information and has no intention of vetting what he says. He seems convinced that he is correct and is also selling flawed products based on that bad information. If he has no interest in vetting his information, then all of his information is potentially wrong and should be avoided or at least dismantled and searched for bullshit.

Wow.......if’s this keeps up I’ma hafta make more popcorn and pour me some more “Oaked” cornflakes.

Seriously though yt and that tv show I won’t mention is probably why newbies come here with a feeling of self entitlement then get all pissy when those of use that have taken the time to research and filter through all the bullshit dare suggest they do the same.

Just because it’s on the interwebs don’t always make it true.

If I have one thing to say to “newbies” it would be this.......

Do some fucking real research, use some common sense if you have any and stop pissing and moaning for fuck sake,!!!

P.S. stay safe, don’t sell and don’t tell.

Interesting. I've been distilling for 6 weeks now and have heeded the warning "read till your eyes bleed" . Have learned huge amounts on this forum.
(Blush) was sucked in initially by this guy but the more I read here the more i started to doubt his "knowledge"
Kinda reminds me of the evangelist Ted Haggard who could screw hookers in his limo in the name of the Lord.
