  Re: Should AFOL websites keep to themselves?
 
(...) To Kelly's point, making the observation about the site *members* always will give you your exceptions. I'm not sure why Kelly chose to specifically mention Lugnet, but you could just as well have said BZPower, FBTB, JLUG, Classic-Castle, (...)

  Re: Should AFOL websites keep to themselves?
 
(...) Please provide links to my previous applicable comments so I know what you're referring to. Also, let's define "standard of maturity."

  Re: Should AFOL websites keep to themselves?
 
(...) While I can appreciate you point here, Kelly, I have to say that, based on various comments you've made on lugnet in the past, I wouldn't like to frequent a site where your 'standard of maturity' are applied.

  Re: Should AFOL websites keep to themselves?
 
(...) It is has been my experience that maturity and age (being an adult) have nothing to do with each-other. Of course, what defines "maturity" is also widely varied, some taking it to be politeness even in the face of rudeness, and others take it (...)

  Re: Should AFOL websites keep to themselves?
 
(...) Actually, I've found the behavior of some people on "adult" LEGO sites (like Lugnet) to be less mature than the norm on kid-oriented LEGO sites (like BZPower). There have been incidents and member actions on Lugnet that I wouldn't tolerate on (...) (18 years ago, 11-Apr-07, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)

Some limits are quite clear and well determined : - topic (that's why this thread on lugnet.off-topic part of the site), - TOS,TOU, - federal, national, international (...)
