After some hesitation, I decided to post on this thread. I watched the videos and what I saw was a lack of discretion, and more significantly, a bigger question: Do cameras do more harm than good? This question affects me because of the live webcasting ability of WiredBBQ. Do I do more harm than good?
I think that's a new thread that I want to start after I post this. But for now, with these particular videos, I have this to say: A) Tuffy should not have been strung along and made to believe his box was accepted. It should have been an immediate decision; B) the person behind the camera should not have started counting down the seconds. His job(?) is to capture the event, not participate in the event.
So the dilemma is, with the camera there, rules were maintained, OR without a camera there, a "favorite" could have possibly won it all.
Personally, I think the jackass that posted the videos didn't do himself, or Tuffy any favors. But I think he did expose a problem that seems to be developing into a theme recently in regards to the use of cameras and tact.
