It doesn't strike a good chord with me, and even as I hope that we can reach a time when this issue is not so painful, I think making light of it is over the line.

I'm sorry to hear you feel this way about it. Yes it sucks what happened; however, we cannot change the past. We can only look into the future and plan to prevent what has happened. For now though, enjoy a little comic relief and save yourself the stress of what has happened.

Boy, I wish I were going to IRI this year to maybe catch a glimpse of this fabled musical experience.

I am all for looking forward and being proactive to prevent a repeat performance in the future, but I find it very disrespectful to mock the teams that had a fair chance at winning on Einstein taken from them by one person who does not hold him/herself to the high standards of FIRST. I think that letting the whole ordeal fade from public view, at whatever pace it may take, would let the affected teams have more proper closure. We should also avoid bashing the perpetrator for the sake of his/her former team members, who don't need to be reminded of the shame likely coming to them once their identity is known.
I don't want to start a threadlong argument, so I rest my case.
