why I said what I said...

The reason I am calling for folks to help FIRST realize what teams are in violation on this rule and I have not called for citizen police on other rules is threefold:

1) FIRST has as much admitted (on the jive.ilearning site and in updates) that they are not going to be able to police this.

2) FIRST has called on gracious professionalism with respect to this rule. What I don't want is for teams to feel that a rule that is more or less governed by gracious professionalism does not mean that we cannot help them realize when a team may have crossed the GP line

3) Finally, I really wanted to start a discussion around the idea that enforcement by GP puts the burden on TEAMS TO COMPLY not on COMPETITORS TO TURN A BLIND EYE TO CLEAR VIOLATIONS. In fact, GP enforcement puts a stronger burden than ever on teams to help FIRST confront clear voilations.

As FIRST grows, I believe peer pressure will become more and more important to make sure that GP is the rule and not the exception.

Sorry for the soapbox, but I feel the point is worth making.
