Default Re: Russo Steele Tent Collapse

[ QUOTE ]
the commentator made a comment about tents blowing over at another *smaller* event across the road or nearby

then Steve Davis announces something about taking an auction break due to weather watch

then Craig grabs the mic and says something about watching storm cells blowing over, then hands the mic back and goes back to the laptop, watch his face at that point.. maybe I misconstrued the expressions.. but it sure looked cynical to me..

a friend of mine summed it up perfectly today, he said it was like being a Capt of a ship and watching another ship sink right next to you, and smiling and looking the other way, and motoring off without offering to help..

Well, they are competitors after all. When big money is at stake I'm pretty sure there is no love lost when your competitor--no, your "enemy"--sufferes a loss. The Japanese say: "Business is war." By other means, of course.

If you think Craig Jackson is difficult to watch win in his business, you'd probably throw-up if you got to watch two large corporations duke it out with their legal departments firing at each other.

True...but it was the perfect opportunity for Craig Jackson to step up and say a few words in support of a fellow auction house (and former employee) whether he meant it or not.It could very well have been his tent that collapsed.The positive press would have been priceless.

Instead,he chose to take the low road like the uncaring snake he is...
