I guess technically I'm also in this, 'younger cocksure generation with less respect' group. But I believe that it is besides the point what age people are, it's clear that age is irrelevant and arguments form because of people being sarcastic and or aggressive not because the person behind the screen is younger. Leading by example and all that jazz means this forum is destined for the bin..
Although since I've joined I have noticed that gradually there's less posts, much less banter as everyone is ready to jump on any argument they can. So although this thread is true, it's not really necessary as it's clearly sparked an argument.. some irony there, I feel.
