Okay, i guess we will just leave it at that...only one more question. If and when Nevil comes out and confirms it is the real deal, will you accept his word?
I tend to think that people will have to wait a rather long time before Nevil comments on legitimacy, or lack there of, of Dogless' G-13 and Dr. Greenthumb's G-13. Some months back Nevil sent me a PM and it did not lead me to believe he has any plans of stepping into the middle of a never-ending argument. Some of what he said was not directly applicable to the G-13 discussion, some was about people who need not be mentioned here, but this is how he ended his PM.
It appears to me that people on the MN forum prefer slander and bickering to discussion and debate about cannabis. The lack of civil behavior is what stops me from posting anymore. I'm sure that some people got what they want with my departure. The rest will have to accept the result.
I don't know who you are, but I like your style of writing.
Kind regards
Nevil
He is fed up with the fighting, the arguing, the name calling and the people who claim to know it all, but don't know dick. I would not be surprised if he never returned to Mr. Nice forums, or any grow site.
I also was sent a PM by Dogless, one I intended to save but unintentionally deleted it. He did not divulge any information and said nothing other than to claim that when Shantibaba and others claimed that G-13 lost vigor and died the real problem was a plant disease that he claimed to diagnose and then cure. He said he would answer any and all questions I had about his, alleged, real G-13.
I asked Dogless what disease did the plants have, what was it called and what treatment was given that cured it. I mentioned that I wanted to ask my family members, ones with degrees in horticulture, about the disease and what, if anything, cures it. Dogless never replied. That was this Spring.
Dogless sent me a PM, I did not first contact him. He made a claim that would, if true, explain how he and he alone managed to keep alive plants that died out on everyone else who had them, or allegedly had them. I asked the questions that could help to verify his claim or shoot down his claim, what the disease allegedly was and what treatment allegedly cured it. Dogless, after saying he would answer any and all questions I had, never replied, never said anything more to me.
That, to me, says that the disease and cure claim was fabricated. Why would Dogless not say what the disease was and what cured it if by doing so he would provide evidence of his claim to having true G-13 would be bolstered by doing so? It would tell how he managed to keep alive plants that died out in the hands of every other breeder/person who had them and lend at least a little credence to his claim of still having the original strain today.
Dogless would almost certainly had to have identified the alleged disease for him to be able to find out how to allegedly cure it. The nature of deadly plant diseases are such that the odds that he did not identify the alleged disease and simply tried this and that, sprayed this and sprinkled that, and was lucky and cured the alleged disease would be astronomical. Even if in his alleged case he did get incredibly lucky and manage to cure some mystery disease he would still know what he did to cure it. He would want to retain that knowledge in case he was ever confronted with the situation again. That being the case, even if he was unable to tell me the name of the alleged disease he should have been capable of telling me what cured the alleged disease.
He told me neither what the name of the alleged disease was or what cured the alleged disease. That was, again, after contacting me and saying that he would answer any and all questions I had about his alleged real G-13.
He knew that I have family members who could tell me if the alleged disease he would have said actually existed and if so what, if anything, would cure it and if what alleged treatment he gave could or would have cured it. I fully believe that is precisely why Dogless never answered my questions, as he out of the blue offered to do. I am positive that he knew he would be caught in a fabrication if he attempted to answer what I asked, so he did not answer the questions I him only asked because he contacted me and made the offer to answer any and all questions I had.
There will never be an answer to the question of is the Dogless G-13 real true G-13 or not that cannot be questioned, and questioned rightfully so. Not even Nevil saying that he believes that the Dogless G-13 is real would be proof positive. If someone who knew the real true G-13, who had it, who grew it, and who had the real true G-13 x NL5 could pick phenotypes of G-13 x NL5 that were more G-13-like and keep breeding them to each other, breeding back into the strain more true G-13 traits, and over time have a strain that could fool G-13's own mother into believing that it was the Real McCoy. Dogless, and others, have had more than enough time to do just that.
Because of that there is no way that anyone will ever be able to factually prove that the alleged G-13 that exists today is a pure direct descendent of the original. It might be the Real McCoy. But absolutely nothing other than words and claims, most made by people who have absolutely no way or knowing, supports it being the Real McCoy.
When you add all that up it means that it is well past time to put this argument to bed because there can never be a resolution to it that would not be rightfully questionable and that means a never-ending argument. Albert Einstein defined insanity as doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. That is precisely what arguing over whether or not the G-13 being sold today is the Real McCoy or not is. Nothing changes, nothing is resolved, there are, and never will be, any different results from arguing about it. It is repeating the same thing over and over and expecting different results when there are none to be found.
Today's G-13 will forevermore remain nothing more than what each individual wants and needs to believe it to be, and it will never be more than that and that alone.
Thus endeth the sermon.
