Got a point there.

He was trying. And that wasn't what I meant -- it was good that that was the approach he took, and look how much happier he is for it.

> Excuse me? YOU YOURSELF said that you wanted OUR RESPONSES.

True.

> I didn't leave because I don't like running from my problems. What would it say about me if I just left RinkChat every time something I didn't enjoy came up?

Smart. I don't waste my time with things I don't like.

> And I'm Canadian.

Canada is part of America and also assures the right not to participate in Internet chat rooms at any given time.

> It not like that at all. I'm chatting, and suddenly, this big red KICK message comes up and slams me in the face.

A little dramatic. The frivolous kicks aren't going away. They are not intended to be mean. They're part of how RinkChat works. You know that. Heck, the upcoming RinkChat Awards is going to have a *category* for Best Kick. Your decision to participate in an environment that you know works like that implies an acceptance that frivolous kicks happen. End of story.

I'm happy with the post you made following this one, and except for this last point, nothing we differ on in this post is what I consider worth belaboring. I'm happy to end things here, as long as you make sure you really understand my preceding paragraph.
