I will of course agree that 'bullying' and especially cursing is not to be tolerated. Ever. We were in matches with one drive team in particular that didn't stop yelling from the start of the match to the end of the match. Several instances of "WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU GUYS DOING?!?" at the top of his lungs. It was obnoxious and the team was instantly put into a category of teams that we would not pick for our alliance if given the chance.
With a couple exceptions, I have to say the Volunteer crew on Newton was awesome, especially the FTA. He was running around like crazy tracking down balls and was instantly at your driver station if your robot had an issue. Does anyone know his name or could tell me how to get in contact with him?

Sounds like your talking about Rob Jenkins (aka Suoerman as he's known in Michigan). He was flying around like that at MSC too. One instance 4967 tore off the side panel door on the field and Rob reached into the field and snatched it away from the robot. Rob and hos wife Marijie (aka Wonder Woman) are two of the reasons why FiM is such a success.
