I'm not sure who's raging, but I will point out that while it didn't "destruct", FTC really didn't recover from that split in terms of number of teams and events. (A member of FTC HQ actually pointed out to us when we started our FTC team--her answer to our very-late KoP arrival was that they couldn't compete with VEX. No, really.) The point being that FIRST is fallible, and if you consider trying to bring issues to light to be "raging"... well then yes, I'm raging in the hopes that we as a FIRST community (including HQ) can overcome these challenges.
I haven't seen anyone predicting a raging self-destruct here. I haven't even seen anyone saying this game will have a long-term negative affect on FIRST. I have seen many people saying that these problems are detrimental and they need to be identified, root-caused and
addressed rather than perpetuated for the good of the community. To that end, some of what we have now is purely complaining (I personally don't have an issue with this), some of it's already constructive, and much of the complaining can help inform construction.
