Default RE: T or V tail

What is a 'Dork landing'? (sorry, new to gliders and glider terminology).

I gather from your response that you prefer T tails, but didn't fully understand why, besides they are more likely seen on the real full size gliders. All other things being equal, I guess I would choose a T tail as I understand how they should operate (opposed to some learning I will have to do on the V tail). Unfortunately, going with a T tail eliminates the glider at the top of my list, the Stork E. Can you or anyone else give me just a little more detail on the choice. I really want to get my bird ordered so I have time to fly before the snow comes back here in Michigan.
