Hi, Admins. I'd like to formally request a stop to the arbitrary kicking of Sparkles for another regular. If you have to kick someone in order to open a slot for a disconnected storytime reader or somesuch, kick me instead (or better yet, ask for a volunteer). I know it's de rigeur to single Sparkles out but for some reason the kicking thing bothers my finely honed (read: interminably queer) sense of fair play.
