They say, no one is an island. Sometimes, however, teams exist as small islands, separated by time and distance. We gather together during brief periods of time, hopefully to exhibit grace and gracious professionalism, but then depart - often with no options of seeing each other until the next season. As Jane said, our actions are analogous to bridges. Chief Delphi is our bridge. This forum is how we stay connected and balanced. We cannot let the heat of competition tear down these bridges and put up walls in their place. I encourage everyone to be builders of bridges. Gracious Professionalism is what we should demand of ourselves and give to others, not what we demand for what may just be our agenda in these threads.

I nominate Jane for the bridge builder award of the week! Thank you for caring enough to bring this issue to light.

I would hope this thread would be a place to discuss positive ways to build bridges in the FIRST community.
