Re: From a Newton Volunteer

As someone that tends to come across as rather cross when I yell to (not at!) people, it is very, very easy to have "communication" yelling misinterpreted as "angry" yelling. Which definitely isn't to say that during my brief stint as a human player during the 2012 season I didn't notice a select few coaches and drive teams that dealt with each other and our drive team in a manner that didn't seem particularly gracious or professional.

So, from an observer's perspective I think it's really easy to misinterpret yelling, especially when there are some people that are genuinely being problematic.
