Why can't we get along?

[A. Snodgrass]

My personal suggestion is if this bothers everybody SO MUCH then everybody needs to step back and call a team meeting. Discuss this issue among your team and then ONE person post whether they are for or against. There has been enough bashing and hurtful words said in the last day for a lifetime. If you really object to this, do it sensibly. Personally I request that all threads about the issue be closed for a day to give everybody a chance to talk within their own team and then come to a concerted opinion. And a note for all teams, before you get self righteous...make sure that your OWN team wasnt doing that which you have objected to so venomously within this bulletin board.
Also another point, Ive heard a lot of people saying that this is a strategy issue and NOT a game issue. I would work hard to define that as well. If its a strategy issue, is it really FIRST's business to regulate the issue at question?
In closing, I think everybody needs to discuss among themselves what their team wants to do, make a reasonable CALM post about their choice one way or another and leave it. By bashing other teams, even if they were being graciously unprofessional in your opinion, YOU are the one who is being graciously unprofessional in the end, to an even greater extent then the offending party.
