Re: Please Remember: It's Okay to Disagree

Part of the genius of FRC is that it's appealing to adults (your mentors) as well as students. That's what gets them hooked.

Mentors who have invested thousands of hours of time and energy in working with teams are going to be just as emotional as "emotional" teens are. I find I need to sometimes take a deep breath and reread a post to make sure it has an appropriate tone. You can be emotional and appropriate at the same time -- primarily by focusing on your own feelings. If you go reread the threads on the Championsplit, there are a bunch of emotional posts by mentors that are perfectly appropriate, because they focus on their own feelings and don't denigrate someone else.

If you feel that a post is inappropriate, you should downvote it via the reputation feature, or report it to the mods using the button on the post.
