Did I sound like I was accusing you of something? D= 'Cause I didn't mean to, sorry.

It's just that you singled out the >15 age group; I can see why people would take it as an ageist comment. (I kinda did but wasn't totally sure.) In the writing and art forums I frequent people play the age card all the time as an excuse for bad writing or bad behavior, or claim that everyone who tells them to shut up already is just jealous of their abilities. If any of them wanted to join an RP or whatever I was starting I'd probably kick them out right away for their attitude no matter how great their technical skills were, 'cause that counts for nothing if you don't have people skills to go with it. So, uh, if you were talking about that then I've absolutely no problem with you or your secret. =D

It's not like you can usually tell ages over the internet anyway, unless the person says they're 16 or whatever. If you type properly and don't act like a moron people generally assume you're 15+; if you don't people assume you're a whiny preteen. Talent/maturity might have a correlation with age but they're not proportional.
