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.

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.

This post is a pretty good example really. Do you consider it mature to make snide comments about other people’s behaviour?

(...) For clarity's sake - are you saying Kelly's post had a snide comment about other people's behavior? (18 years ago, 11-Apr-07, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)

I'd call it "Play Well," which is something anybody can do - if they so choose. Not everyone does so choose. (...) (18 years ago, 11-Apr-07, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
