If I was not already aware that my posts in this thread were viewed from a bullying point of view, it was further clarified by some private messages and reps that I received. For that, I am sorry - I did not mean to bully or push even though it came off that way.
The members of the team who created this thread and have posted in this thread have posted with dignity and with respect. And with each post, your team has shown that you are very capable of handling any discussion regarding your team name and sharing who you are with the CD community. I wish FRC 2883, F.R.E.D. formerly known as The Fighting Rednecks, all the best in the 2009 season and in the seasons to come. Sincerely.
Jane
