I didn't see what was so ****ing great about her. Just a bunch of adults clamoring to groom a child into liking the fall or whatever. Not quite as bad as sexual grooming I suppose, but still weird.

SGR

Trollheart would probably say that's nearly as bad.

Trollheart

Seriously man, can you not get away from the grooming ****? Not every interaction between an older person and a younger has to be seen as grooming. All most of us wanted to do was open a young mind to the music we loved, and hope she loved it too. There's nothing wrong with that.

Are you seriously telling me that if a child came up to you you would walk away? Is it that you hate children, or are you so terrified of someone thinking the wrong thing that you won't take the risk? Don't you think children should be able to approach adults and vice versa without there being an immediate suspicion of sexually inappropriate motives? You wouldn't like to share your experience of music, politics, literature, whatever, with a younger person in the hope of enhancing their life a little? You'd be too scared, or just wouldn't care?
Hanging offence, that.

Let's not forget, Eleanor made a thread asking for help. It's not like one of us cornered her and started throwing unsolicited advice her way. What should we have done? Ignored her? Told her she was too young and we couldn't speak to her? For ****'s sake.

this **** sounds NAMBLA-ish af buddy, lol

like if there is a reason for us to be interacting like maybe I'm friends with the parent or its a relative or something that's one thing... but I can't think of any irl scenarios where I'm just shooting the **** with random ****ing 14 year olds.. can you?



all introduction threads should be ignored. Especially those made by children.

Guybrush

Okay, so this thread took a really weird turn.

I'm sure collectively finding out what's acceptable behaviour when communicating with 14 year olds is riveting, but that's an age group we're not targetting or have any members from and it seems a little off-topic. Perhaps a moderator could move/split that discussion to its own thread?

I'd rather talk about how we have a neat little film club going.

Don't worry. After his last comment I'm not discussing it with him any more. There's no point. He's either trolling me or he believes what he says. Either way, I've better things to do than justify what I and a lot of others - probably most others - see as perfectly normal and acceptable behaviour.

As an honorary brit I find discussions about who is or isn't a nonce to be very entertaining, but maybe quite offtopic here.

Apparently they don't want you being a big meanie on the new forum. I think I'm giving it a pass y'all.
