Luke McAwesome Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 On the other hand though, nobody has really directly insulted these kids. Simply quoting some silly posts isn't so bad in my opinion. I have nothing against these kids, believe me. I just think what they write can be hilarious sometimes. But I have no reason to think they're doing anything wrong, like someone else said, they're just being kids. If you're insulted I posted a couple of funny quotes, sorry about that.
CP5670 Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 Yes but being kids, don't they have an excuse to act that way as opposed to the some of the "adult" forums you listed? I'm all for laughs and whatnot, but making fun of how someone types or how misinformed they are seems a bit harsh (especially when most of them aren't old enough to have germane and cogent discussion). I don't see that kind of behavior here towards other Eurobricks members, so why would it be okay for this type of conversation to be going on behind peoples' backs so to speak? That is basically what I was implying. These kids aren't that bad, and there is not much reason to make fun of them when you can easily find similar or worse posts on any large forum. Although on the other hand, I first started posting on internet forums and newsgroups when I was something like 11, and I was much more coherent than the typical poster there.
Siegfried Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 This topic seems rather mean to me. Perhaps I've missed the point, but it seems to focus on "let's make fun of little kids". If I'm wrong free free to PM and persuade me otherwise, but in the mean time I'll be closing this.
