Re: I Kept Quiet for far too long. This. Is. WAR!!!

I would just like to remind everyone that we are only getting one side of the story here.

I know Dan a little from my experience from FIRST. I know some of the people I believe that he is attacking (WAR) very well and I respect them highly.

I am not saying they need to come on here and represent themselves. I am not saying they need to handle things differently. I am just saying that we, here on CD, are only getting Dan's point of view. Maybe there are other circumstances involved that he may or may not know about, and that he may or may not be sharing here. I don't know.

And, in general, (this is not directed at Dan)...yes, volunteers should be treated with respect, but not all volunteers should be given the same authority. The level of maturity, emotional control, and overall attitude need to be taken into all accounts. Sure, the volunteer could be the most devoted FIRST person in the world, but it doesn't mean they should be in charge of a key position at a competition because of it. But, how do you tell them that?
