I mentioned "For those of you out there who are going to the Championship Event for rides..." in my reply in the championship event announcement thread, But I certainly was not talking about you, or anyone particularly on this board.

Believe me, there are people out there who went to Disney just for the rides, I've met them in all 4 years I've been in FIRST. If you know you aren't one of them, then you shouldn't felt accused. If it came out that way, I apologize. But hey, it shouldn't matter what others think about you, as long as you know who you really are.

Not many of us have met you in person, and the only things we can use to see what kind of person you are are the posts you made on these board. And I don't think you are going to get nice responds if you keep using #%#%#%'s. If you take a look at other threads you were involved in, when you didn't use #%#%#%'s to insult theme parks, others didn't call you names or say bad things about you. If you want others to respect your opinions, you got to respect others' opinion first. Every time you choose to say

"Anyway, Huston is at the breaking point when FIRST comes. Tansportation, entertainment, food, etc. I predict a HUGE catastrophy when it comes to all of those."

and act like you are not going to listen to other's opinion/reasons, then other people are going to act exactly like you did.

Look at people like Andy Baker, and Dave Lavery, and many other major posters in the board. They are all willing to share their opinions, listen to others, and are great representation of "friendship, love, and gracious professionalism" in FIRST. From time to time they have opinions different from the group, and yet no one have call them names or say bad things about them.


Mean while, I thank you for posting a different point of view in the issue of Championship Event. Its nice to see different voices on this forum... It makes the discussions much more interested and not one sided. I really do encourage you to stick around and keep sharing your opinions in the board. There are a lot of other good posters ready to talk to everyone else once build period start about interesting topics. I really hope to see you part of those interesting discussions when time comes. After all, you sounds like you've been around the FIRST competition for a while, and have lots of great perspective and point of view about everything in it.
