An Open Minded Skeptic
Honestly, I don't care if this gets me thrown off the forum or not.
Chris O'Brien Sucks....LOL!
No, here is the true honesty.
First of all, I didn't have a chance to reply to the thread which said goodbye to Lance. So be it. I had a great deal of respect for a lot of what Lance said, but also felt that sometimes (and I am not a hypocrite here) he could have conveyed his opinion in a more diplomatic manner.
That being said, I too have worked harder on replying with a sense of understanding for the other guy, but sometimes felt as though I was being singled out, and as is almost an instinct within my persona, felt the need to defend myself (sometimes overtly disrespectful to the other person) in kind.
I want to go on the record here and state that Chris O'Brien is one of the best hosts I have heard on a paranormal radio show in a long long time! I don't always agree with his opinions, but let's make something very clear, right here and now....
1. Chris sometimes painstakingly drives the topic of the shows he hosts cleanly on, or back on track.
2. He very rarely allows his personal feelings to dissuade his interest, and always respects and does his very best to keep the guest as comfortable as possible.
3. His demeanor when dealing with every aspect of the show is both honorable and genuinely positive.
But for people to believe that he should have no "opinion" and act as some form of robot, is nonsensical to say the least!
Lance began a lot of his "opinion" about Chris with the critique on he bringing up information that was either one sided, or perhaps not able to be substantiated with the kind of proof Lance would have liked to have heard. Honestly, even though I thought Chris might have embellished a personal interest in a subject matter by which a proponent of the opposite angle could find holes in, that didn't mean that Chris acted like his answer was the ONLY answer and have done with it.
No, as I mentioned here and will defend on this forum or anywhere else I might wind up, Chris ALWAYS showed a fair hat in discussing any topic in which he found himself in, whereby the context was expanded to include "opinions" and not always facts.
What's wrong with that?
So in conclusion, the next time someone on here wants to overtly critique Chris for doing what he believes is right, just take a few minutes out to think about what the show would be like, if someone of a radically opposing position to your own, would take the helm and pan anything or anyone (either totally suppressing or out-rightly ignoring) a topic which might look to diversify his or her, "know it all" consideration. And do this, might I add, without the open ended and fairly excellent manner by which Chris and Gene question respectfully.
I'd hate to see that form of "Camelot" develop! Wouldn't you?
