See, there's that funny word there: respect. I'm sure you have the same
level of respect for Shiri as you would for anyone else who wants to visit
-- oops, Shiri's just a child. It's perfectly FINE to disrespect someone
strictly because they're under 18. How obtuse of me.
However, I'm sure you would agree that part of the maturing process is to
recognize when someone else is pointing out what, for all appearances, is a
stupid and arbitrary policy, enforced blindly and with a willful ignorance.
And don't give me any stories about how the whole of NELUG voted for it --
it just serves to lower my opinion of the group.
Maybe I'm alone in my opinion, maybe not. But I choose this opinion, and I
choose to express it. Deal with it.
Cheers,
