No, it's not fine to be disrespectful of someone because they are younger than
18 years of age. Unfortunately for the position you are trying to take, having
a policy that our group is only for people over the age of 18 isn't being
disrespectful to Shiri. It's a choice we made.
You should try being more respectful of the way we choose to run our own
activities.

Yes. I would respect someone for doing that.
That's not what you're doing, unfortunately. You're choosing to throw insults
around over a policy that was decided on for good reason. I won't bother going
into those reasons yet again- they are well documented in several threads on
Lugnet. You can find them yourself, I'm sure.
This is the way we choose to run our club. If you don't like it, fine. But
there's no need at all for you to stoop to being disrespectful. It's rather
immature, don't you think?

You have the right to express your opinion, and I have the right to defend
myself and others in NELUG when we are referred to as "stupid" and "willfully
ignorant".
Deal with it.
