I think it goes to heart of what happened. I see the purpose of this thread as about CD community conduct. In this case, we have a new account asking for help with a situation while claiming affiliation with a well-known, highly succssful team. There was wording that touched a nerve: inappropriate mentor build involvement. There was an assumption made that this new user was a troll but showing a little curiousity shows it's plausible that they might not have been.

If you come across a post that rubs you the wrong way that doesn't contain open aggression/libel, can we please give people the benefit of the doubt? Contact the person and ask if they are old alum of 254. Ask what they mean by "trying to get this robot built." It's easy to jump to conclusions, especially when you're online. We all do it. Encourage you inner devil's advocate and be curious.
