Chris gets a bad rap because almost everything he writes regarding potential controversy is usually pro-organization, but if you have listened to him on the radio, he's very knowledgeable, plugged in and candid.
I imagine that his day job probably has some dictates he has to respect. We all answer to someone, and in this case, it seems to be his editor.
Hopefully Bill Ingram gives him some more room to operate. His piece on the
Zero Tolerance rule is excellent.
