In an ideal world, on the internet people would only be judged by the quality/content of their posts, but I know it doesn't happen.

I think that, on the internet, people are judged more by what they say, rather than their age (if it, of course, is not known). I always assume that I am dealing with an "adult" when I am on-line, unless it is VERY apparent (by what is written) that one is quite young. I think age is irrelevant. Gender and race, too. Far less prejudices are experienced when not dealing face to face. Everything hinges on "what" you are saying on-line. I mean, one never really knows "who" they are talking to. I could be much older or much younger than what I have stated that I am...

I would like to hope that I would not be prejudiced by your age, but in all likelihood, I probably would have been. Although, there is ONE thing that always makes me take notice of younger people's opinions (IRL) and that is, you often still see things a heck of a lot more optimistically than I do, even though you are beginning to see and feel more and more hypocrisy in this world.
