[edit] No more BS garbage
Look, it is a proven fact that people call up the show and say he is doing a good job. You can listen yourself on the loveline archives (google it). The fact that someone would delete this fact, blatant, plain old fact, is ridiculous and proves how far down wikipedia has gone.
- Please sign your comments. Additionally, if you can find a show where it occured, you can site the link to (reference) it from the loveline archive. Though it's still questionable as to encyclopedia value of an anonymous caller supporting Stryker on the air. It is wikipedia's policy to maintain a neutral point of view, we can't make an entry for ever call someone made about Stryker. I think the controversy section is fine the way it is. It shows that noteworthy people have endorsed Stryker and that there is a vocal amount of Loveline fans who disagree. It seems like you're trying to tip the balance of the controversy section in Stykers favor, and that's not in keep with Wikipedia's stance on neutrality. -- Craigtalbert 19:39, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
- Being an avid listener who can only listen by podcast and therefore have not missed a single moment of the show since October 2005, I can agree and corroborate that callers almost all speak highly of Stryker on the air. However, should like or dislike really factor into an encyclopedia so heavily? It's a subjective thing really, and it might be better to just try to stick to facts (like movie credits and such). "Internet User Opinion" is a interesting study is sociology in and of itself, but this may not really be the place.Legitimus 20:01, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
- I'm sure that's true, though I've also heard some clips of people calling in saying they don't like him -- and I'm sure they have a harder time getting by the screeners. But that's beside the point. It seems pretty clear to me that whoever this person (as reflected by their other edits) they're just trying to make the article reflect better on Stryker, and that's not the purpose of Wikipedia. Sure, we all have bias, but I think you need to put those aside as soon as you click "edit." -- Craigtalbert 01:07, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

- Adding onto that, this article needlessly mentions that Loveline is on the air on WFNY-FM in New York, which, while true, doesn't tell the whole story. Loveline had previously aired in a late night timeslot on that station when Adam Carolla was the host and the station was known as WXRK-FM. It seems to imply that Stryker's hosting is (at least) the primary reason why the show is syndicated in New York, which is not the case. The show being syndicated is a result of filling a couple of hours late in the night after deciding to create a full-talk weekday lineup. 70.21.221.239 04:32, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
--- Here is the deal with Stryker, he is a lightweight compared to Adam Corolla. Stryker has neither the wisdom nor comedic talent of Corolla. However, Stryker sounds intelligent and I am sure he is a swell guy. It also seems as if the show has been dumbed down somewhat compared to the Corolla days, there seems to be more silly/trivial banter going on and less deep-thinking and call-taking. I also feel Dr. Drew has become more jaded and snippy with the callers. His freudian psychotherepy seems to lack the level of rigor I remember from the old days. I am sure he means well, but he seems burnt out doing the radio gig. He should stick to his addiction medicine practice, eventhough his apparent lack of drug use gives him almost no credibility, other than being able to recommend one to visit a 12 step program. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.159.217.90 (talk) 13:05, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
- I was all set to go off on this, but there's something of more importance: It seems people are repeatedly making this article about Loveline, when in fact this article is about Stryker as a person and DJ. This is like making Adam Carolla's page only about the Man Show and harping on how misogynist it is (if that was one's opinion). Opinions about Loveline are valid and all, but they belong elsewhere. There's lots of forums out there. Also, Drew's lack of drug use does not invalidate his expertise. He's an MD with tons of experience and provides the medical side in his practice, and acts as the boss. However, as one can see when viewing his show "celebrity rehab," he employees a team of ex-addicts to treat people, like Shelly and Bob. Legitimus (talk) 14:47, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
