Yeah, I understand what you are saying about how if you break a rule, you shouldn't be announcing it on Chief Delphi, where authorities around where you live can check to see if you have done anything wrong.

I think there is a bit of biased judgement here. Not too long ago this thread was up and everyone could see it. Tytus is clearly breaking a rule that's far more dangerous than kids smuggling Mt. Dew into a convention center, and then posting it on Chief Delphi. Sure, he wasn't intending to post a picture of him doing 85 MPH, but it's still there.

Tytus is a mentor
roboticsguy1988 is, or recently was, a student. (If I am not mistaken. I'm judging his age based on the "1988" on the end of his username)

As for Tytus and his post, a great many people already had mentioned the fact of his breaking the law and showing it. I did not post as I had nothing more to add.

As for Roboticsguy1988, we have had a few PM's going back and forth and I believe that we are cool. If he wishes to share that is OK with me. I did not post to make him feel bad about "smuggling in a pack of Mountain Dew into an arena" but rather to bring up the fact that we should not be breaking rules.

I will expand a bit on our discussions. It seems that there was no rule about no soda. By the thread title it was perceived that the soda was "smuggled" in which only would be done if not legal. The fact was that the title was to attract attention to the picture not to flaunt a wrong. Both he and I have learned from this exchange and I know that I have benefited from it.
