I'll stir the pot a little with another opinion.
I don't think most home brewers have the skill to execute a half decent ale, let alone a half decent lager, and even fewer who have the technical background to make a LoDO the way it needs to be done.
And those are the people who rip on lodo the most. Enjoy your bucket fermented, oxidized, hazy, bottle sedimented beer that still hasn't cleared after 4 weeks on the cake and another 2 months in a carboy.
So... you seriously don't see how this abrasiveness turns people off? If the proponents of an idea could just present the idea with the same open mind that is expected from the audience they'd be a lot better off. But coming into a presentation with the attitude that the audience is filled will substandard people is not going to go very far. After all, there's very little difference in people. But the little difference there is actually makes a big difference in the end. The little difference is attitude. The big difference is whether it's good or bad.
Like most, I will decide for myself it if any technique new or old fits my process. I recommend you allow others the same liberty to do likewise without insult.
Cheers!
