Re: [BB] What did you do with your weekend?

Note: The following post contains many maybes and things to consider. I do not try to assert any facts.

Has anyone even considered the context of the conversation?

I expect the FTA knew plenty about the field system, but how much do they know about play a game of pokemon? How much do they know about how to build a car engine? Maybe the student, albeit rude*, was correct.

Has anyone considered the tone of the students voice? Although it seems implied, it is not spelled out. This thread seems to have two different opinions on how abrasive language can reflect on a person. Maybe it was a conversation between two friends, one who happens to represent FIRST.

Another thing to consider is we are hearing this story 3rd or 4th hand. Could a small detail have been assumed? Could someone have exaggerated something to a point? Is this story being told as the eye-witness or one of the participants recall it?

Again, I am not saying any of this did happen. I am just suggesting that we are taking one side of a story and there might be some details we have overlooked.

*The language can be open to interpretation.
