What Happened to Class?

i agree that this is a very important thing to keep in mind when making posts .. as i have been looking at cd for 2-3 years now, i have i seen many posts with negitive comments and it certainly doesn't help your opinion on a team.

I have to agree with everything that's been said here, 100%. I don't like the rumors that can be spread... we joined each individual FIRST team, whether it be Lego League, FRC, or Vex, to have fun (Yeah, my grammar's a little off, for any english nerds out there, sorry). Why spread rumors and have all this hostility/back talk/down talk if you joined your team to have fun and experience something different? Everyone should be able to have a good time without rumors or anything like that attatched to their name.

Now to stop before I start rambling... >.>

Thank you Beth, for the awesome reminder.

Personally, I don't hold grudges towards someone who posts on a forum such as this. I have seen posts that made me cringe and made me overjoyed. I have met people with cringeful posts that were insightful, intellegent, charismatic and friendly to me, and I have also met people with a high rep count and intellegent post tendency that lack respect for themselves and others and felt our friendship sink from it. However, as she says so correctly, that first impression is everything for a period of time.

Thanks to everyone for making this a good place to be

I understand what you mean, Genia. That's why I prefer to meet Robotics people face to face at competitions--it just makes me feel better knowing that I've actually spoken to the person who I'm talking online to.

Beth I totally agree with you.

be gracious and professional

I agree with the post. Everyone should be a model of good sportsmanship and make each match played fun.

Wow great job Beth!!!! I agree with you 110%. We have a parent on our team who should read this. We try our best to be positive and all it takes is 1 person to turn positive into negative. Lets face it we all work our butts off for the 6 weeks and we can get a little testy!!! I for 1 would much rather put on my happy face then bring everybody down. Stay positive and reach for those stars!!!
I really think this will be the 1st game where hard hats and eye protection will be passed out at the doors for visitors!!!!
