13. Are we talking chronological or emotional age
Bicoastal, there are people in that forum who act like petty 4 year olds. I have a good internet friend whom is 19 yet you would never know it from talking to him..a lot of people think he is closer to 40 from his maturity level!
This whole thing about being "too young" to know what you are talking about is complete and utter bullshit. And a form of bullying. I am 38 so maybe I am not old enough either?
Really, don't let that bother you. My 19 year old friend is actually the terror of the R/T forusm (as in, don't challange him or you are going to look silly).
I suppose you could form a group for under 30's but why isolate yourselves like that? There are a lot of younger people here, but I think they get intimidated by the behavior you mention. I think you should continue to post in GDP and set an example for others.
Have you talked to Ava on this board? She's I think 17 or 18 and is one of the most accomplished anti-war activist here.

My 2 cents
