As far as arguments getting out of hand, it happens. We all get very tired and emotionally charged. While the internet is awesome for allowing quick and easy conversation, this and the former factor do not mix well.

Things do get kind of ugly, but I think everyone deserves some leeway because that’s the gracious part of gracious professionalism. We all slip up and have those days, but we can move on. That attitude allows for these discussions to happen as they should, without judgement and an open mind.

I have no qualms that when everything is said and done, every team in FRC respects each other. That’s what I love about FIRST: that we can compete and still be friends.
