Message: [QUOTE="cuseinchina, post: 631086, member: 3079"] As for the 'it's a business argument' I am not sure why people think making smart business decisions excuses being classless and selfish. Who do you respect more - Warren Buffet or Donald trump (who has destroyed more shareholder capital than anyone else I can think of). Being gentlemanly is almost never a bad way to go as a businessperson in the long-run. The decisions you make are incredibly important, but the way you implement them might say more about your long-term ability to succeed. There are many counter-examples, but by and large the bad guys do wind up losing one way or another. I think the way Marrone handled his departure and the way he didn't come out supporting Nassib regardless of his decision makes him at least seem like a bad guy. I thank the guy for starting the turnaround and moreover for hiring Shafer. But it's hard to wish him luck out there in Kodak land. [/QUOTE]
