There was an unnecessary comment about ages, the MCU and childishness that was deleted as were a few posts that quoted it.
The thread asked a very simple question and it still took a wrong turn briefly.

I am old. It was I who expelled man and woman from their garden, I who opened the floodgates of wrath to allow the cleansing of the earth, I who performed judgment on the gods, men, and firstborn of Egypt, I who brought about the axe age, sword age, wind age, wolf age, I who sank cities and made kings bow to me. I am old. I am THE STRANGER. So like, 35, right? "Then ſhall it be too late to knock, when the door ſhall be ſhut; and too late to cry for mercy, when it is the time of juſtice. O terrible voice of moſt juſt judgement, which ſhall be pronounced upon them, when it ſhall be ſaid unto them, Go, ye curſed, into the fire everlaſting, which is prepared for the devil and his angels!"

I had to read this thread twice to try and find someone "mocking people's ages." I still can't find it anywhere. Some posts were mod-removed, too, I noticed. Really? That's weird, I still see pretty much all the posts. Does that mean there were already posts that were removed before I started posting? Because then I'd look pretty silly defending something that was already removed. Anyway, no big deal. We're past it.

I'm finding it hard to believe that there are no teenagers here and double hard to believe that 40+ peeps are still down with the fandom. I don't know if I'm going to last that long with all this arguing over make believe. Just don't get involved with the fan war and you'll be fine. I'm 41 and I enjoy CBMs and talking about them on this board. I'd probably lose interest if all I ever did was argue with people, so I don't do it. I have my own opinions and I'm accepting of others as well. If someone is overly obnoxious and brings nothing of value to any conversation, then block them. It's that simple. I'm here to have fun and procrastinate, I don't see much point in arguing as a hobby.

So either the posts were removed before I started posting (which means I was defending something that wasn't there anymore which would make me look real silly) or the posts in question are still there as I still see them. As Scabab hinted at, DC Fan’s post saying the stated ages are bs and calling all the MCU fans children, without giving his own age, which led you to mention him at all in the first place. Plus my and Nicko’s posts quoting and replying to him about hanging around arguing with kids by choice. I don’t know if anything else is gone, but I noticed that because my comment had at least 5 likes. This message will mod-destruct in: 5 4 3 2

BCP Commination, 1662. How on earth did you dredge that one up? But I’ve got your number on it, pal.

Of course I still look like a cross between The Question and Beldar Conehead so who am I to criticize?

Ah, yes... Indeed. 36 years young. That's fantastic.

I'm here to have fun and procrastinate, I don't see much point in arguing as a hobby. And once again, good-old-fashioned pragmatism wins the day. Ironically, I used to frequent another board where I was amongst the few tribe elders and the majority of the community members were in their late teens and early twenties. That group was obnoxious for sure but, never hateful. Of particular interest was the fact that they really didn't see the need to call out a fandom they didn't like or that was receiving "undue" praise. They focus their attention on the fandoms they care about and they actively try to break down the barriers between the producers of the content and themselves. It seems the older generations, both you and I, are content with being idle consumers of content who bicker and fight when it isn't made to our exacting specifications. I think generation Z is on to something big when it comes to being active participants in the shaping of their fandom and its content. They make their voices heard in every channel that is available to them -- and -- they've been marginally successful in effecting change when they think things are going off course. The cream of their crop doesn't seem to have time for fandom wars and they're just flat out dismissive of what they don't like.

No. You cannot have that day. That day belongs to my baby who will be 28 this year. I was 30 when she was born. Went to the hospital on Halloween, but she chickened out & was born the next morning.

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. I peruse this board at work sometimes to steal pix & DC was being snide about marvel fan ages. summer as well? Its as old as the old IMDb board, the accusation marvel fans are under 12
