Hi Erik,

Your experience gave me an impression, that you're older... :)

BTW, I'm 29. That is until July 2th, then (ack) 30.

>>I am both troubled and intrigued by the recent discussions about community standards, censorship, freedom of speech, need to blow off steam, political correctness, off-ramps, insults, profanity and vulgarity.
>>
>>I am not naive. I've been around and seen and heard a lot of things. But I am amazed at the intensity with which some here seem to be attacking long-established concepts of dignity, respect, courtesy, modesty, self-control and honor.
>>
>>So I'm wondering if there is perhaps a fuzzy dividing line in time that marks that sea-change of attitudes. Those on one side of the line see the change very clearly. Those on the other side may not even comprehend the comparison.
>>
>>There may be something to this, although I don't think for a minute that it's the *only* explanation. For example, my 9-year-old son is learning in Cub Scouts about many of the traits I have listed above, so he would be an exception to the age idea.
>>
>>But age and generational outlook are the questions of the moment for this thread.
>>
>>I am 48 years old. I am very curious to know the ages of the following UT'ers, who are the Top 50 UT Posters for the past 7 days, as of 8:20 am. I will *respect* your right not to reveal that information, and I will not associate any names with any conclusions that I reach from this limited research.
>>
>>Ages may be sent to me privately if you prefer, but general discussion of the issues raised should be kept public. Others not listed are welcome to participate.
