Make your own decisions and deal with the varied consequences of those actions; don't pretend you're being humble by leaving those decisions to someone else.

When you decide to ignore a member of the Chief Delphi community you are ignoring a problem. I don't think that ignoring problems are part of a responsible solution. Silencenomore and others are people with generally valid problems with the current state of FIRST. Granted, they may not present the problems in the best way, and they hide behind anonymity, they bring valid problems.
It is un-American to see problems and ignore them. For example, we don't ignore the religious battles in Israel, we don't ignore oppressive dictators, and we don't ignore the minority. By ignoring the minority who have a problem with the current state of FIRST you are acting with prejudice. If we ignored the minority, FIRST would not exist. From my experience, FIRST gives students who are the unpopular minority in their school something to be proud of. That's something that is American, and definitely a responsible solution.
