I think you are reading much more into the label "AFOL" than most people.
To me (and Frank, from what he says above) AFOL means no more than that you
are an adult who enjoys LEGO as a hobby. I've never thought it might mean
anything more until this conversation came up - you seem to think it means
something much different, and object to it on those grounds. If you don't
mind my asking, what do you think an AFOL is?
You don't want to be called an AFOL, and that's cool with me, but I have to
admit, in my own head, I'll still think of you as an AFOL, because you're an
adult who has a LEGO hobby. And that's all it takes, for me.
