I agree with whipplebuck, the ice is for everyone who chooses to use it. We all put up with idiot behavior every place we go. However endorsing any law that gives one traditional sports groupe a right and denys privilage to another is the way that presedents are started, sort of a "foot hold" to build on until the "bleeding hart yankee liberals, think they are the only enlightend people in the northern hemisphere" get thier way. I have to disagree with the whack upside the head. You see, I am not the size of the guy you described,however, I'm actually 6'6" and 260 pounds and well trained in the arts of combat. If I break your tip up, I'd be obliged to compensate you for it. Hit me with it.......ohhhh bad idea!!
