I see what you mean Mike, and I am sorry that it sounded different then what I meant....there I go again speaking in half sentences...

I view GP as a lens to judge actions, not as a tool to judge people you are right. When I said that, I simply meant that if I where to begin flaming you for responding to my post, then people would view my actions through GP, because as a member of the FIRST community, thats what has become expected of me. I just believe it important to recognize that GP has become expected of all of us within FIRST, and letting newbies know what to expect is beneficial to all. So that they do not get berated for doing something they did not know was wrong, and so that their image is not tainted in our eyes.

I apologize for wording my original post a little awkwardly, I hope this says what I really meant.
