I think we might be on the same page. I would feel much more comfortable if
.people were placed off-topic, and it was only accessible by members over
18 (all of OT, that is). I enjoy and have participated in OT groups, but I
am now believing that these groups can have a deleterious effect on LUGNET,
especially among kids coming to LUGNET and to LUGNET’s reputation as being
“kid-friendly”.

I know that this is a small part of your argument but I fail to see the
relevance of blocking parts of Lugnet to under 18 year olds. people under 18 can
be ‘Lavender’ (I can’t remember the acronym off the top my head!)

| (...) Actually, it is my whole argument:-) I know that 18 is rather an arbitrary number, but here in the US it is considered to be THE age at which adulthood begins legally (except to drink alcohol, but that is another topic altogether) JOHN (20 years ago, 23-Sep-04, to lugnet.admin.nntp, FTX)

| (...) But you are talking about LEGO related questions, not personal questions. I have no problem with LUGNET boards that very specifically relate to LEGO. It's all of the personal stuff that I am questioning. (...) But they didn't get together (...) (20 years ago, 22-Sep-04, to lugnet.admin.nntp, FTX)
