This was really interesting. (I came in from sartorias's LJ.)
Interesting, I think most audience members would agree with you. The audience knows which panelists to avoid at all costs regardless of topic because they either hog the panel or exhibit these behaviors you spoke of. And I know if a panelist is entertaining, I'll go see them regardless of topic. Learning how to be someone people want to see rather than avoid is definitely important, especially for a new author trying to build an audience!
