Early-teen fans on the Barrow Downs?

I disagree with the belief that teens generally congregate in the Mirth forum, and adults in the Book forum, because at 16 years of age, I am most definitely not an adult and I still frequent the Books forum. I just happen to enjoy the level of scholarliness that generally characterizes posts in the forum. It is highly unfair to assume that all teenagers aren't as "bookish" as adults.

not a very large amount of the teens on this site give intelligent (comprehendable?) input.

The reason that many teens don't seem to give "intelligent input" is opinions like that. Teenagers aren't given a chance to prove their scholarly aptitude, ergo they just stop trying. That is why teenagers seem to frequent the Mirth forum. There, people don't judge them based on the quality of their posts.

I really love everything about this forum, the people, the posts, and the forum in general, but opinions like that do hurt.
