Re: This Is Appalling Behavior At A FIRST Event

Necro-ing posts from 15 months ago probably isn't the way to go. A (possibly) better way would be to start a new thread asking if things have improved while including a link to the previous thread.

As for what became the core element to the thread, yes, it was deplorably terrible behavior. Karma, Golden Rule, etc all describe the concept that you will eventually be in the other person's shoes. Being rude, discourteous, or inconsiderate towards people who maybe move slower than you, have balance issues, have mobility issues ... all negative behavior there is unacceptable.

However, this needs to be addressed from the coaches, the mentors, the parents, and the team leadership. No matter how exciting FIRST is, no matter what the deadline might be, slowing down to be courteous can never be a bad thing.
