yeah there's definitely some folks with a chip on their shoulder on here but idk what to tell you. Clap back, toughen up, or ignore em. Don't let em bring you down just cause they have reservations at the curb spot.
But as always, the option if you don't like the discourse of the website, is to, ya know.. log off... close the browser... go skate...?
Edit: just now reading the SNL thread for context... I still stand by my original post, but you probably should have dug around in the bloards a bit longer before you came to the conclusion "this must be a place of encouragement"
if your friend group/skate crew supports you, just ride with them and leave SLAP to the levelheaded and geriatrics.
