Gtac01, I don't believe anyone said anything about you being 15. I have been around 12 year olds that carry themselves like adults, and I have been around 36 year olds that shouldn't be allowed out in public unsupervised. Your age matters to no one. It is content, courtesy, and protocol that matter.
I decided I am not going to flame. (content, courtesy, protocol)
I am going to go out on a limb and say that I am speaking for the majority of regulars at this forum -
1. You need to make sure what you post is accurate. (To the best of your knowledge) If you are unsure if what you are saying is true, either don't post, or note that fact in the message.
2. Read your own posts and make sure they make sense to YOU before you post them and expect them to make sense to others.
3. Use expletives sparingly.
4. Don't flame other posters. If they flame you, turn the other cheek. I think youngdragon did a great job of ignoring flames a while back. Intelligent discussion is good, arguements and name calling are bad.
5. The number of posts mean nothing. There are guys at this board that have only made a few posts, but they were concise, and accurate.
6. If you are wrong, admit it.
These are general rules, and don't necessarily all apply to you. I am glad you are participating. In a sick way, it is sort of entertaining to have you around. (Like a retarded court jester that no one wants to tell go away)
And as for your last comment -
Youth is a wonderful thing. You are fearless, and think that you are always one step ahead of those "old guys". You are a rebel, and your parents are ignorant. The day will come when you realize that in your youth you weren't so smart, your parents are semi intelligent, and it all starts to make a little more sense.
Keep on, keepin on!
