From the ToS of LUGNET: (do not) Restrict or inhibit any other user from using the discussion groups.

  
   I firmly believe minors and adults should be kept apart on this forum due to issues like this.

Does it say anything to that effect in the ToS? Why would you want to keep us apart? IMHO by the very nature of this hobby(2), not letting KFoLs, TFoLs and AFoLs mix around inhibits the free exchange of thought and ideas.

Eric made similar threats toward me awhile back. After consulting with folks who were, at the time, LUGNET admins, I determined that his threats were entirely empty.

And even if he had gone so far as to call my parents, I imagine they would have laughed at the concept of a 35 year-old man getting so bent out of shape because of the “antics” of a teenager... not to mention the creepiness factor of a 35 year-old man tracking down the phone number of a teenager, and the possible legal ramifications of such actions...

Through my communications with other folks about said emailed threat, I also came to the conclusion that it simply isn’t worth it, that is, trying to communicate with a man who clearly seems to have issues beyond a punk kid getting on his nerves. Especially one who for some reason views his extra 20 years as a clear indication of his superior reasoning skills and maturity, when numerous posts could be cited to the contrary.

So Samarth, keep building, keep posting, and keep it fun!
