I think many would agree that acting with "Gracious Professionalism" means not running around calling other teams 'un-GP'. I really wish people would stop abbreviating Gracious Professionalism because I think the true meaning of it gets forgotten. A key part of the phrase is "professional". Being professional about something means that you should not post in public forums singling out teams, calling them names, and making accusations. It means to act in a manner that your grandmother would be proud of. It means keeping things civil and not making personal attacks against people or teams.
Someone acting in a "Graciously Professional" manner would try to discuss this topic in a rational way without making accusations and instead offer (and, more importantly perhaps, accept from others) constructive criticism.

If you are the coach for your team then you have even more responsibility to hold yourself to a higher standard. Regardless of what someone else may have said about you, you need to be the bigger person in this situation and not sink to the level of personal attacks.
While I have quoted one particular post here that irked me, there's been many people lately saying the same kinds of things. Let's all try to remember that we are working towards a common goal, and in the grand scheme of things we really are all on the same team.
