A few times George would address the auditors directly and say stuff like “You people are so stupid because you don’t read.” “You would be lucky to understand 5% of what I am saying because you don’t have the mental capacity.” I was like WTH was that about? I don’t know if we looked puzzled or he saw someone scratching their heads or what but that was weird and unnecessary. I paid $80 to sit on my butt all day and felt it was worth 5 times that much. Maybe that is why he thought we were stupid?[/QUOTE]
Probably because some auditors DID look confused.
I watched a three day clinic last year. Great learning opportunity, very much enjoyed it. That being said, he sometimes simply doesn’t explain himself clearly. There were definitely times that the riders WERE paying attention (as was I as an auditor), and we were all still confused about the proposed exercise. Those riders were not afforded much benefit of the doubt, but when Amy Millar was confused about the same exercises as part of a demo later in the day, he certainly didn’t comment on HER inability to understand his instructions. 
GM is GM, and I don’t realistically expect him to change. BUT under normal circumstances, I would hope that if a clinician often seemed to have confused riders/auditors, he might reflect on the fact that he is sometimes NOT terribly clear in his instructions. Its not a big deal - happens to the best of us.
That said, there are certainly lots of other times that I understood his frustration. I recall one advanced group who were being asked to jump a small fence and alter what they were doing with their hands (I believe he wanted a low following release). Fully within their capabilities particularly given the size of the fence. There was some pretty half hearted efforts on behalf of some, which was frustrating even people who are not GM.
