Message: [QUOTE="cto, post: 82037, member: 412"] Bees, you know what my background is..... it was essentially crisis communications. And I always fought with the lawyers who wanted to say ... "This is a legal matter, and therefore we cannot comment." Lawyers ALWAYS wanted to say that. Even when we KNEW we were right. JB obviously did not consult with any lawyers or "spin doctors" --- who would have muzzled him. Instead he spoke from the gut. I am sure the university dislikes the path he has taken. But so be it. Jim is what he is. He has always been an upfront guy... and he has always been very loyal to his people. As I said, he obviously knows what the personal consequences might be. But he has obviously decided to say "this is (fill in the blanks)." In this era of everyone using a rehearsed soundbite.... I sort of like Jim's "let the chips fall where they may" attitude. [/QUOTE]
