I’m not sure that the sites that prompted your ponderings are really AFOL sites. Not a a critism of them, merely a thought that the standards of maturity might not be what you would like to get from an AFOL site

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 BZP.

The standards for maturity don’t always seem to apply to Lugnet.

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 to being self-confident enough to simply ignore rudeness.

But we are dealing with people, and people are known to fight from time to time, regardless of whether the fight is for a good reason or not.
