It will not only be embarrassing for me, but it will also hurt FIRST because of very few bitter individuals.

Sometimes, Moderators have been known to 'split' threads when discussions veer away from the original purpose of the thread or when another topic is introduced into the initial thread and deserves its own.
I watched as a Week One thread veered into an intense discourse and it was frustrating to see that thread become overwhelmed. Maybe individuals who want to discuss outcomes of their competition that are going to be emotional, controversial, or spark intense discussions, could start a separate thread after the event and call it something like, Aftermath, or something.
I'm sure there are teams who would love to post about their experiences at the regionals but can't quite get around all of the landmines. This is just an .02.
