Is that what this site is, just a priase FIRST site, anyone who questions it should be cutoff and censored? If so, fine, I'll stop reading these forums or posting, since it doesn't seem to be a free sharing of ideas anyway. Seems more like a post here if you're a FIRST groupie and won't ever question what they do or how things can be done better for teams.

So let me get this straight Rick - Does everyone need to use their last name on here? I see hundreds of users without full names, are they annonymous and should be looked into also? Or just the ones who question FIRST or diagree with you? How am I annonymous? I use my first name, I even state where I go to school and I'm looking at starting or metnoring an FTC team (or I was, now I won't). Seems like you have no problem with all the single name users who don't disagree with you or challenge FIRST.

What do you want - my full name, my social security number, my phone number?

Let me save you the time of looking into my account - I'm sitting here at the Orchard Valley Cafe in Campbell, CA, where I normally am when back home. If you want to know I'm here, call the clerk and ask who's next to the couch on their computer. Why am I at home, because I'm going back and forth from school to home because my mother is very ill and in the hospital, so I wish my reality was fake. You hit a nerve, and I would like to call you a name right now, but I won't. I'm sorry you don't like my views and you think FIRST can do no wrong. But claiming anyone who disagrees with you or questions FIRST should be looked into and moderated? Are you serious? Is that what FIRST has taught you? Sorry, but this is a joke. I can't believe that anyone who questions FIRST is slammed on these forums.
Oh dear lord, there is a rash of people joining, making provacative posts, then leaving; stop putting words into other's mouths. Nobody asked for any information, they're doing normal moderation duties since we've never had a wave like this before. Don't take it personally.

Chill, relax, worry about your mom, a bloody robotics competition isn't as important as her.

FYI, I've challeneged, questioned, and called out FIRST on these forums, in public, and on podcast. Saying anyone is silenced who calls them out is as bad as saying everyone here is just a bunch of whiners; it's not true, it's a blanket statement, and is usually written out of passion of the moment.

Again, CHILL.
