I propose, these forums are not a competition. There is no race to prove a point, to prove you are right, to prove you are wrong. If you have something you feel will help the union of FIRST, write down you thoughts in a separate location. Go on reading other threads. If you still feel the same after 20 minutes, re-read your thoughts. Check to make sure someone else has not stated the same point. Then post your reply. This will give you time to think about what you want to say. The more educated you sound the more people will want to listen. To repeat what others have said, requires little education; to sincerely challenge it, requires intellect.
“Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.”
Benjamin Franklin
