Sure it is, thanks to rampant doxxing, everyone here knows he is an older guy, so calling him out on it is not cool. Sorry, you lost me there. When and where did I call him out and why are you associating me with doxxing? I personally have no idea how old he is, thus I was curious. Not all people have ulterior motives for asking questions you know. In that case I am genuinely curious as to what you motive is. If he wants his age known, he will post it. ( and then you guys will make fun of it )

Not all people have ulterior motives for asking questions you know. Come on dude, everyone knows about and remembers the doxxing. The last time this issue came up was when seahawkssuck called Dc an old geezer. How do you suppose he knew that? I thought it was assumed that DC was older based on the doxxed pic used, but since that was actually the relative, his age wasn’t a real known factor at all. No? Not that I really care or want to open this up further.

I know about formersam's doxxing, don't know anything about a doxxing attempt at DC-Fan. I don't read every single post on this board you know. In any case, you name dropped me and accused me insulting people's ages - something which I did not do. That's not cool. It would also be silly for me to tease someone in their 40's when I'm nearing that myself. My "motive" for making this thread is to get a better idea of people's age range, nothing more, nothing less.

What could possibly be your innocent reason for that?

What could possibly be your innocent reason for that? Because he posted on this thread and didn't mention his age. Thus me being curious about it. If he doesn't want to state his age then that's perfectly fine, but I'm not fine with you falsely accusing me of something I have not done. Oh and just so we're clear, I have no problems insulting DC-Fan on his maturity or his intellect. I do it all the time. But since I'm the one who started this thread and asked people about their ages, it would be poor form of me to start insulting people regarding their ages. Sometimes a question is just a question, nothing more.

To be fair, DC Fan stated his age himself several times, recently on his Superman tribute thread:
"I was 11 when Superman: The Movie premiered in theaters". So, a perfectly honorable age. And a lot younger than what the darknet nutjobs estimated him (60s or 70s).
Did dc DISCLOSE because of the heinous doXXing/harrasseing/theft some members of the darknet committed aginst him and his relatives?
Maybe. That is for him to say.

And that’s the movie he mentioned he’ll take his kids to. I don’t know if my 5yo daughter would sit through it. She likes contemporary super films, but I haven’t shown her classics yet.

If I have to I can lock or delete the thread if it gets out of control. I doubt there'll be any need of that. I didn't really consider LDM's comment insulting, even if I was in my 40's (which I'm not too far from). I believe he meant it in jest. But if it was indeed insulting for some then a simple call-out should suffice to keep this thread insult-free. And I believe we've already had a callout and more besides.

Fair enough.
Let's just all of us not be dicks.
That's all I'm asking from you guys.

If I misunderstood anyone's intentions, then I apologize for that. But, if anyone here does make fun of someone's age, then that should be no more acceptable than making fun of their race, gender, or sexuality. Again, thank you for hearing me out.

Do you mean with dc fan, who didn’t give his age and said everyone knows you’re all just kids, giggity? I’m surprised more people aren’t older, actually, based on the manner in which some users carry themselves. I posted my age, but then deleted it when: 1) LDM started making fun of 40 year olds 2) LDM and skaathar started mocking DC-Fan ( who, like me, is over 40 ) Okay, let's take a step back here... First off I apologize if I offended you or anyone else. I think it's great that we have older members of the fandom who are still engaged and, I value interacting with them (when they're sane). It was probably my own insecurities about getting older that led to my comments... I'm not exactly walking anything back but, I do see how I might have come off as agist. Frankly, there are so many cynical, jaded and hateful voices on this board that I just can't see myself being apart of any fandom past 30 let alone 40.

Apology accepted, I hate drama, and I certainly did not intend to create any here.

Not really all that cool to ask peoples'ages, and then try to mock them and/ or make fun of them for it. I had to read this thread twice to try and find someone "mocking people's ages." I still can't find it anywhere.

Ah, that may explain why I couldn't see anything. If mods are going to yank posts then they should yank the posts that refer to them as well otherwise things get confusing.
