Re: disaster in israel regional

I think I'd agree on leaving the thread closed.

Brian, there are two things I think you should know. The first is that the libraries were created and beta tested by volunteers. They don't have to do this. If a lot of people make comments like the ones you've made here, the volunteers might just quit. Then the quality of the competitions will really go down, because there isn't a codebase other than the one out there now.

The second is that maybe instead of criticizing, you should try either constructive criticism or just plain trying to help them. That comes off much better than what you've been doing. ("I noticed these problems and would like to help you work on a fix for them" as opposed to "You guys stink because I don't like your work".)

TubaMorg, I think the ungracious part sticks. "...floored by your continued arrogance/ignorance...it's all WPI's fault for making bad libraries"--and that's only from the last post he made. If that isn't ungracious, I don't know what it is, other than quite possibly bitter and annoyed. Also see the one that was quoted for further inflammatory language.

But ditto on the short moratorium on posts from teams that just attended a regional. I see more posts that raise the blood pressure in the 1, 2, or 3 days during or right after a regional...
