Obviously, if it wasn't stated then everyone would be mad. As it is stated, only some are mad. I would put myself in the don't like process/not mad camp.
For live auctions, with bidders in one room chatting with each other, I wonder if some of they auctioneer techniques are intended in part to counter bidder collusion. If you leave bidders in a room for a long enough time, secret alliances will be made.
