I admit, that's why I started to skate is to hang out with my friends more and fit in better but now it's not. I actually like to skate. It is a fun sport. But the kids, who started skating and actually skate once a month and own $110 boards, they bug me. They can't do anything yet claim they are skaters. They barely skate yet they claim they are skaters.

Sam or any assigned op shouldn't have a reason to do something, but they can just do it because it is their chat. The person involved is my friend in the real world and I still agree with Sam's decision.

Hey, don't get me wrong here. I realized after reading these posts, that what I did was completely unacceptable. I was just kind of suprised at the sudden kick. I'm not offended in any way now, and I agree I need a break from Rinkchat as punishment.
