I hope you didn't think I was directing anything toward you, bluejeanz. I respect the fact that you don't care for 'Good Eats' and that you framed the comment by saying that
you don't care for the show but never once said get rid of the show or Alton. That's my biggest problem with the original poster (and people who act like that about other issues) because they don't like something or someone they want to get rid of it completely despite the fact that others my like it. When I say I don't like a particular show/host, I try to state it as -- whatever isn't my cup of tea, but someone else may love it.
I know I have made comments about not liking certain chef/hosts or have criticized something one of them may have done, but I try to keep those comments to pointing out mistakes, poor technique or bad information. In in my opinion Sandra Lee has the worst show on FN, but that's my opinion and I respect she has fans and the show is filling a need. I'll defend anyone's right to stand up and say they love her show and she's great and that's I'm totally off-base by not liking the show. As BerryBaby mentioned, we all can agree to disagree.
Heck, I didn't even chime in on the whole Robert Irvine controversy. And with that issue, I could see a healthy debate between people wanting the show taken off or the host replaced and those wanting to keep Robert.
This original poster just came in on the forum for Alton, made statements about how s/he perceives Alton and because that's his/her opinion then FN needs to get rid of Alton. Of course since Alton is my favorite, I had to chime in (several times
).
I also find it interesting the original poster has yet to make an additional comment. I'd love to lock horns with him/her on this one
Until then, I'll try to
