For me this ticks me off, but it's not like it's ruined my season. Honestly besides a couple questions about my FB status about this at the beginning of my day this morning, I haven't thought about it throughout the build day.
That's understandable, I was targeting that toward others (not necessarily Chris, who was quoted in my post) that are making this a life-or-death situation. People getting frustrated and expressing their anger about a particular subject is fine, and expected when a major "controversial" statement is made.

People saying they're done supporting FIRST because of it is OK too. So leave. Nobody is forcing those individuals to stay in the program. If it really is as big of a deal as you make it out to be, then try to change it. E-mail the directors, ask Dave some questions, phone headquarters. Don't just sit around and complain about it endlessly. Either you're fine with it, you dislike it enough to take action, or you really dislike it enough to leave.
