The correct attitude in FIRST

[iblis432]

Last night an argument ensued between me and another FIRST member from PA. I regret fighting the argument very much and wish I could take it back, but the argument still concerns me. We were arguing about what FIRST is and the man I was arguing with was against FIRST and under the impression that FIRST did not do enough ect. What concerned me most was someone in FIRST badmouthing the organization. It has always been my belief that if you are in an organization, namely FIRST, then you should always defend it and stand up for it. Stating concerns is one thing, but just badmouthing it is another. I would think it to be no different in a workplace, you shouldn't go around telling everyone how bad the company you work for is (although everyone continues to do it, and I am just as guilty).

My point is, what are your feelings on this? I for one was very concerned for how a fellow member could be so blatantly rude about the organization that they are a part of.
