Re: How should we react to posts?

There's always one way this annual discussion comes to life.
This is the more likely and more disappointing way.

Contrary to the belief of the op, no one likes it when you attack other teams.

Contrary to the belief of a few Chief Delphi members, red-repping the kid into the 6th circle of hell isn't exactly a quick fix.

I think when people who are at the mentoring age verbally go after an OP in a negative way, you are giving them what they expect, and not what they are supposed to hear. Send a PM asking why they think that. Ask if they want to come visit your build site. Ask for mentor contact information and get the communication lines open. Two people sitting with their noses facing opposite corners have a tough time finding common ground.

It's not the duty of the community to be a Gracious Professionalism Internet Police squad, but a set of spokespeople who promote the good works of gracious, rational, professional members of the CD community and the FIRST community through both their words and their actions representing these values.

It's Sunday on Week 6. In 9 days, we all bag up a robot that we enter at competition in March and April. Some of us have been done for a week. Some of us finished most of our work today. I feel like this member is staring at a few parts in a box and no where to go.

Well, no where to go except the internet machine. The thought process probably involves seeing what other teams are doing, how they are doing it, and what they are doing. Then after looking back at the progress of this students team, a few unsavory dots begin to connect themselves.

Ye who has not thought enviously of other teams, cast the first stone.

I'll watch.
