Contempt,
While I must say that your posts are far more intelligent that most of the others I've read, I vehemently disagree with you. It appears to me that you're saying it's okay for the people who don't like OG to insult him, rip him, call him names, etc. but god forbid if someone defends him. Please explain to me how defending someone can make that person look bad. All it means is that not everyone dislikes him. This may come as a shock but he has many fans, far more than just "family and a close circle of friends". I personally believe this thread has run its course, everything that can be said (good or bad) has been said and now it's time to leave the guy alone.
I think it's ok for people to come here and say they don't like someone, however, I have made it clear many times on this entire board (see in the Mike North section when I defended Rock), that I don't think it's cool to personally rip somebody. Calling Annie a dog, or Jen Jen a whore is not cool with me. Wishing that OG gets AIDS isn't cool with me.
What I was suggesting in regards to OG is, I just find it far-fetched that there really is any group of people (otherwise outside of the OG circle) that would care enough to post here and defend him. All in all, OG is just an update guy and a Bulls pre/post game host, who got demoted from the evening spot. Danny Mac, North, B&B, Jessie don't have nearly the amount of defenders that OG has on this board. That is why it "appears" that the people defending OG are people who are close to him.
IF there are people who strongly like OG and are actually defending him on this board, (which we will never honestly know), I'd be more than man to admit that I am wrong.
As for me, listening to him on the air in the past, he didn't bother me. They could have kept the evening show as JD and the OG and I really wouldn't care. I have no beef with him, but I'm assuming that the others won't leave him alone as long as they believe it is Mike himself coming here and posting as "Guest" while defending himself.
