Re: Where's the Gracious Professionalism?
Thanks for the reply, believe me I saw my face on the Facebook page and was surprised by the quote you shared about the post. I am responding as elegantly as possible. I have no problem with criticism of what I post, as it's there to help people and try and change an attitude that has been brewing this year. I understand that mistakes have been made this season, and I understand that robots have been severely damaged or teams who should have won a match didn't because of penalties that should or shouldn't have been called and all that. I really do get it. But as I said on the "Robotics Memes" page, the solution to all that is not sarcasm and "I hate this game" "I hate the refs" "I hate that my team lost" or even "The GDC made a terrible game". I have seen all kinds of those responses and not enough "We are all human" "Mistakes were made but it's ok". I realize now it might not be ok for some teams. It may not even be ok next season, but we all know that FIRST has the teams in mind and that they try their best to fix the problems that occur. They can't fix everything though and we know that, so sometimes it's best to just ask yourselves and your team "What did we learn this year?" and "Why was this season GOOD" instead of only dwelling on the bad.
