This sums up my thoughts on the topic perfectly.

I have been involved with enough organizations to know that the problems presented here are by no means limited to FIRST. I have seen people on one team or club get all worked up about what their competitors are doing, and it can really tear some people up. Then something happens with the competitor (they win, they fold, whatever) and rumors start going around. The situation gets just plain ugly.

As others have said, calling them out publicly is never a good idea either. Partially because it fuels rumors that are largely untrue.

Make your FIRST season your first season. Don't spend time worrying about what other teams are doing. Don't ask yourself if everyone else is playing by the rules. When it comes down to it, it doesn't matter what the other teams are doing; what you are doing is what is truly important.
