Why can't we get along?

I do not believe that this is an issue that we can all agree to disagree upon. Those who take offense to point collusion feel it to be an act that is not in the spirit of FIRST and will not help the game or organization grow. There is a feel for a need for resolution to correct a wrong and make the game "fair." I think that convictions like those will not just go away. I do not like seeing FIRST progress toward a factioned organization that has teams "blacklisting" others and excluding teams from elimination round play... yet without any official ruling from FIRST, I see the sad reality that there is not really any other realistic path for this game to take.
