Normally I don’t do this. In fact, I think I’ve never pitted a poster before. In the “Would you support lowering the drinking age to 18” [thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=217321&perpage=50&pagenumber=2) in IMHO, this moron spewed his prejudiced “opinions” like: > [@](#): > > More importantly, 18 year olds are more immature than just about every other age and that includes 16 year olds. > They think that they have all of the answers to all of life’s questions and problems and that evryone else on the planet is stupider then 2 week old ear wax. > They are irresponsible, self indulgent, self centered, and they all always fall back on the old, I’ll just say…" excuse, believing thaqt those three words are somehow magic and will wash any any problems,troubles or bad circumstances the 18 year old finds themself in. When called on these bigoted statements by myself and one or two other posters, he responded: > [@](#): > > Yeah well they happen to be quite true, given Gen Y’s disregard for following the basic rules that govern modern society. Sir, you are a moron. You are prejudiced against teenagers, and your position in indefensible. Many valuable posters to these boards are teenagers, and I don’t believe your statements apply to them. I imagine they would take issue with them as well. Change your attitude, or I don’t forsee a long tenure for you at these boards. ---

One prejudice I have consistently found on the boards, which are usually so good about stuff like this, is discrimination against teenagers. It usually makes me so angry that I just try to avoid it at this point. ---

Being not all that far from an 18 year old (man… 5 years ago… maybe I _am_ getting old), I can also say that I absolutely hated it when people assumed that just because of my age I was just like the ignorant, self-important assholes who happened to share the same birth-year as me. ---

I think it’s too long. Limit is either 3 or 4 lines, can’t remember which. ---

What’s an average sized monitor? B. 19" (I think) 1280 x 1024, and it’s only three lines on mine, certainly not “more than 4.” C. I have not asked by a staff memeber to change it. If one does, I certainly will. Keep your “junior mod” BS to yourself or report me to a mod. (directed at **Zenster** and not **TMWTGG** ) ---

On a 17" Samsung monitor, 1152x864 resolution, it’s _barely_ three lines. Only the last three words wrap over to the third line. And stereotyping by age is total crap. ---

Not for nothing, but what is with the “Jr Modding”? I mean really- if you want to be a mod, apply for the job. Otherwise report posts when you need to or MYOB. Talk about looking like a silly tattletale. ---

You were also advised to use the “Report this post to a moderator” button henceforth. Yet, you don’t seem to be able to follow that simple request. In addition, I found a respectable amount of warnings for hostilities outside the Pit with your name on it in our archives, including one sent per e-mail by **UncleBeer**. The staff will be discussing your posting privileges. **Garfield226** , your sig is just fine. Carry on. ---

…AAAANnnyway… regarding the OP: I agree about the teen bashing. It’s easy to fall into that “young people these days” mode, but people have to remember to look at cases individually, not lump people together as a group and judge them. We have so many fine teenaged posters here that prove that teens are not the way Mr. Evil thinks they are. ---

The government considers 18 year olds mature enough to marry, die for their country, enter into contracts, but not mature enough to drink. Go figure. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mr-evil-breakfast-is-served-pit-style/208046.md?page=2)
