I didn't say "*what* is cool". I said "*who* is cool". That's a completely
separate issue. The actual words used may be "mature enough", but it won't
feel that way to the recipient of a rejection. It's painful enough for Shiri
to be rejected on what seems to her to be arbitrary grounds; how much more
painful would it be if we (or the community as a whole) handed down a "this
person isn't fit to be one of us"?

We had a member vote. It was unanimous that we would draw the line at 18.
I'm glad for Shiri that so many people are willing to stick up for her, but
I am also amazed by the number of people who have no direct connection with
NELUG who are so willing to attack us. THAT strikes me as arrogant. If it
were just messags of support for Shiri, that would be one thing, but the
recent few messages (including but certainly not limited to yours) have been
very attacking, and I'm not sure how that is supposed to help anyone.
