 As for "the age factor" - this isn't going to weigh into  anything in this game. 
Please leave meaningless factors elsewhere. It's disrespectful and judgmental, tbh.
 
Plus, who said it's impossible to be classy and messy at the same time?

EDIT: Before you go into playing technicalities on the word autistic: It was obvious the word was not meant as a compliment, so I responded to it as a drag.

 You drove me to bash your body against the wall with your incessant squakings. There's only so much one can listen to about a damn punctuation before one snaps.

 Honey boo boo, an autistic child would not know how to fend for itself and would be unwilling to venture into unfamiliar territory. It will not run away.

 No disrespect meant.
 
However, I do feel strongly that age does factor in. Not necessarily in who can be deemed a "Top Member"... I think any age could achieve that title. But age does factor into your entire outlook and post style on ATRL. 
 
And for the record, I would have disagreed with that statement when I was your age too. Being the age I am now though allows me a different viewpoint on the matter tho...

Clearly we both have opinions about each other, but I'm not looking to bicker about it because I get the feeling neither one of us is about to change their mind. We actually may be more similar than we think. That being said, let's agree to disagree and go our merry ways.

 What kind of term of endearment   
But if the child don't got a good reasoning ability, they'll go wherever the wind takes 'em

 Couldn't you of just put on your headphones and listened to the TTT album or something?   
And you were beating me before the Top 14 was even decided.

 Sure, maybe. But I don't think it's incorrect for me to claim I know a lot more about music 
than most users on ATRL that stick to particular fandoms and claim ignorance about anything else.
 
It's not ever impossible for a 17-year-old to be more knowledgeable than a 21-year-old. 
It's just that the latter has progressed farther in life, tbh.

 That's wasn't my intent at all. If you truly do want to draw the entire thing out and talk it through, say the word, and I'll be more than happy to do so.

 Oh, I wasn't speaking about knowledge at all. In fact, I agree with you that a younger person could potentially have more knowledge in certain areas than an older person. I was talking more about confidence and maturity levels. Even as a teenager, you feel like you have those things, but the older you get the stronger they get, and you begin to realize this. THat's what I mean. Sorry if it wasn't clear.

 No, I agree with you. I personally don't think I act my age, though... 
And it appears as if y'all think I'm some little kid who doesn't know his sh*t

   you see, I actually was looking for a response when I wrote that big long post. Just a little acknowledgement that your judgement was wrong, just for you to admit that you thought we were being serious but now know that we were kidding around. I mean, you did call us out first.

 For the record, I never said you were a little kid who didn't know anything. I don't think that it's true. I do think there is a certain outlook and sense of self that comes with age though.

 Oh, looks like the storm has settled. Originally only came in here to see how slayed everyone was by boyonce. Clearly very.    Back to my island I go   
Also, I wanted to point out that my changing personalities is my niche on ATRL, so I have an excuse.
