There's a stark difference between arguing a point ("maybe students should have to fabricate robots" or something like that) and calling a large body of individuals unenthusiastic slackers who don't deserve to win trophies because they sent CAD files to Texas. FAHA has been used to allow people to argue viewpoints anonymously before, if people want an avenue to do so. But I don't see "arguing a point" as a catch all safety net for lobbing pot shots at teams.

What if that was your team? What if I made an anonymous account and called you an ungracious jerk who should have to give back all the trophies you've ever won? I'm sure you'd be happy then.

Thanks for not making your post anonymously
