This will be my first and probably my last comment on the forum but I can€™t just stand by and watch the discussions going on without commenting€¦
I feel that we are worlds away from the €˜one€™ roboteering community that so warmly welcomed me in 6 years ago and to be honest I am ashamed and embarrassed to be part of a community now where previous favours and good doings are being forgotten, where personal differences and unfound judgements are pulling a community apart and paving the way to the end of this sport in the UK€¦
At this time, more than ever before we should be focusing our energies on coming together not falling apart, on individual€™s strengths not their weaknesses, the skills they can bring to the community not the petty comments or disagreements from the past. We need to pull together each and everyone€™s strengths and skills and be big enough to put aside differences and misunderstandings to get to the same goal everyone has deep in their hearts- a future for roboteering in the UK and a community that can get together, have fun and grow the enthusiasm and interest towards the sport.
So at this point I urge you to step back and reconsider the direction we are heading in€¦ put aside personal difference, leave egos behind, stop creating villain €˜scapegoats€™ and look for the strengths and skills that are on offer within our community to help take us all ultimately to where we all want to be- one community and a thriving sport!
