As great as the forums can be for discussing different strategies, clearing up rule questions, asking how to gear for the best torque, etc., complaining about a student on your team to five-thousand chief delphi users is not the Gracious Professionalism that Chief Delphi and FIRST are going for. It is especially not what Chief Delphi is going for in these forums. If you have to complain about a problem within your team, type it up in Word, and then delete it. It isn't worth hurting others for. Now, if you are going to ask a specific question e.g. "How do teams that feed from multiple schools communicate effectively?" That's fine and a reason that these and other forums are in place. However, if you want to talk about a student who has become a dictator, leave that within your own team or in your own head. Use the forums for what they are meant to be used for, not for complaints. Come on folks.

Just in case that you didn't notice we are in the General Discussion section of this here forum, we are also talking about team issues. I think you are over steping your bonderies by posting this, many teams have their problems, I will be the first to admit that I have alot of "cheese" with some of the people on team 862. We all look to this site for the sense of community that FIRST gives us and alot of teams are bound to have their problems and complain about things. Its going to happen. I guess what I am getting at is we need to help each other and if we need to give advice to help, we will. Be it a technical problem or a personal matter, we all need to listen and be undersanding people. If we help out with every ones problems it will only make us all stronger.
