I've thought about the PM aspect of this and what I've come up with is that no one is immune. PMs can be as thoughtful and well-written as some posts in the fora. They can also be hastily written with little attempt at a civil tone. I've been the recipient of both types of PMs and I think it is fairly common. Are the PMs that cause ill feelings, good? No. Can more care be taken when crafting the message? Likely. Are the PMs anyone's business? No, unless a moderator is contacted for help. The PM aspect is none of our collective business. That said, how we communicate either publicly or privately in ChiefDelphi, shows the measure of our maturity and our professionalism in conducting ourselves as members of FIRST.
