What happened to the FIRST community I call my family?

[Rick]

Being someone who made some poor choices of words manu years ago on these boards, has taught me and other teamates in check. When we see a problem, we hash it out, usually agree on a best course of action, and go from there. Never has that solution been to come on the boards and comment on every single thread...

On the mentor side, you have people from teams who remember "the good 'ol days". A time and place they wish to return to. This season was different from previous years, and next year will be too. FIRST as a whole is expanding quickly, and bickering until threads are closed, feelings are hurt, and friends become enemies will not help at all. It only takes one person to make a team look horrible ( I speak from personal experience ) on the outside no matter how many good people you have in your organization.


Humans resist change, and we will resist change. There is no controling that. What can be controlled, is how we all handle the changes.


Stay classy Chief Delphi
