well...

gracious professionalism is definitely synonymous with courtesy and helping out others. and i haven't heard anyone (except big mike who wants to burn moe ) use the old 'act like your grandmother is watching' this year, so that's certainly appropriate. gracious professionalism means no bashing or insulting, no booing or negative cheering, like laughing at other people's shortcomings. being on a team with a good reputation has made it all the more obvious when there is disdain for our good fortune. all too often do people cheer when good robots go down, and there has been the occasional note in our pit telling us to leave, but we take it with a grain of salt, because that's what gracious professionalism is. you treat others with respect and dignity, even if they dislike you or treat you rudely. kudos to the dude who said that about masochism, that was funny (koko ed)
