The reason we need moderators is because of people like you. Brandon, along with all of the other moderators, do a GREAT job on these forii. If any post is edited for content, it is not to change the poster's point of view or opinion, it is for appropriateness and content. If you posted a something with a link to a website that could contain "adult content", it is not unthinkable for a moderator to put a note on the end of the post saying "this site contains adult content, view at your own risk, etc, etc." I can't imagine someone posting something and Brandon editing it to say "Wait, just kidding - I really meant to say this which is exactly what Brandon Martus thinks and completely opposite of my previous view."

So why are you even here, if you hate the site so much? If you have such strong negative feelings towards all of us, why don't you just leave?

I'll agree with you on one point - Dean and Woody did not intend on creating a group of people who shoot down other people's opinions. Thank God that didn't happen! Gracious professionalism is a big thing in FIRST - it's one of the things that sets it apart from every other competition! I'm glad we have the "nincompoops" that blabber about gracious professionalism. At least they're getting the idea out there.
