Default Re: Question on Behavior in Tournament Play

I've always looked at it this way. If there are mulitiple callers of the short stack all-in. Why would you want to drive out the hand that may possibly knock out the short stack. When that happens, as is metioned previously the short stack doubles or triples up, and instead of moving up in the money, you've just empowered another stack that might felt you on the very next hand (a reach, I know but still entirely possible). It's not so much courtesy as common sense.
