As a fellow old-timer... come on, lady. You're sniping at someone that's likely half your age. It's not a good look. Was it really so hard to just ignore the comment and move on?

[(Anonymous)]

While I thank you for your defense, I am an adult and can take snippy comments in a pointless online argument just as well as I can make them :)

ayrt

Ah, sorry, I didn't mean to come off as thinking you couldn't defend yourself. It's more the incredibly immature behavior of a woman that should have outgrown this *years* ago that bothers me, haha.

[(Anonymous)]

No, you're being an ageist shit. To the named user for implying that she can't have a voice in debate any more (because let's be honest, at 62 most people here will be younger than her) and to anon for assuming they're a child who needs their hand held. You are part of why fandom is so toxic and divisive atm. Just cut it the fuck out.

LOL

DA*cheers*

/apparently it's fine for millenials to have a go at older people in a rude and condescending way but oldies are not allowed to snark back. Yeah, how 'bout NO.

[(Anonymous)]

This is why you don't have any friends.

Someone defends you, apologizes as you express your wishes to not be defended, and is rewarded with an insult.

Seriously? You suck balls.

/someone not in their 60s

Do...you think every anonymous user is the same person or...?

Hmm...thought the poster was referring to me, and not thee. I could be mistaken.

Hi there, age colleague! Most of the time I do ignore things like this. I think part of my response actually came out of my wedding fatigue. I probably shouldn't have engaged; on the other hand, swallowing my irritation - and yes, I was irritated at a small thing - here on fandom secrets (where the idea is oft-times to vent) seemed silly as well.

Since it was I who engaged, I have no right to sulk that people disagree with me, often profoundly (or snarkily, or both). Nor do I. But I don't think I'm punching down because of their age. At a certain point, people younger than I am are adults, and I consider them capable of holding conversations, including silly conversations like this. The argument could be made that always refraining from disagreeing with someone because they are younger doesn't give them respect as adults.

[(Anonymous)]

YES. What ayrt really meant, I suspect, is "shut up, young people's opinions are the only ones that matter nowadays and I will show how cool I am with da kids by telling you off", which, hell to that.

[(Anonymous)]

Don't put words in my mouth. I meant only what I said: that immature sniping like that isn't a good look for people our age, especially when it's aimed at someone very much younger. I never said her opinion didn't matter (and, in fact, I agree with her on the base argument). Simply: there's more constructive ways to handle an argument.

[kaffy_r]

Heh ... I probably did the same type of thing when I was young, back when dinosaurs ruled the earth. In fact, I know I did.
