It should be interesting if they do.

They don't seems as rude as that group that swarmed us from Flashplayer last year.
That was a nasty group of brats.

Just because Segways were invented by Dean Kamen, the FIRST founder, doesn't mean that FIRSTers, or Chief Delphi users, have the responsibility to defend them at every possible moment, nor the right to assume that a "segway basher's" opinion is wrong. It's their opinion, they are entitled to it.

A couple of my favourite quotes, that really apply here.

"Don't try and teach a pig to sing, you'll only waste your time and annoy the pig."
"You can't get water from a stone."

Honestly, the chances that these people are actually going to listen to anything you say is slim to none. No need to stoop to their level.

Karthik,

We farm boys say it like this:

"Never wrestle with a pig. You'll both get dirty, and only the pig will enjoy it."

Also, Karthik, from my experience, not much annoys pigs. However, your singing would do the trick. That quote works for you.

Reading their thread really makes me appreciate CD even more. A bit of culture shock for me - mostly due to their lack of culture, respect and communication skills.

I'd rather not invite that crowd to this forum - I just don't see any value added.

Karthik: you've heard pigs singing? I thought they just go BOOM !

My english teacher has some pretty good quotes he tells us.

One of my favorites;

"Think of how hard it is to change yourself. Now, what makes you think your words have a chance change others" - Unknown (as in I forgot).
