18 year old dude on CEP

[kdubs923]

I just started reading it... I. Don't. Get. It.

At all.

[pitterwoo]

he says he googled proboards and politics and found CEP. Why he wants to post here/there is beyond me. He "sounds" like an 18 year old, but who knows.

I wish more people would find us sometimes. Not teenagers, but just new blood like we used to get at the old place.

sometimes I want new blood and sometimes I am like nah we have enough.

It would be nice to have like 10-20% turnover

Now you have to tell us who is in your 10-20%  ^o)

I forgot how many excuses teenagers have. I agree with CEP that he makes me want to go apologize to my mom. He can't clean his room because of action figures and baseball cards??? wtf... I never want DD to grow up.

I feel like in the last few days we have had a lot of new posters joining in threads (no intros), has anyone else noticed? People with a few dozen posts jumping in which I think is good.

Is it flameful that I have zero interest in hearing the thoughts and opinions of an 18yo dude?

Well, considering that his thoughts and opinions include that he can't clean his room because his baseball cards are on one side and his action figures are on the other...

Speaking of new blood... interesting how that MUD that was here last week (or the week before?) never came back.

I feel like I should know what this is in reference to but I am drawing a blank

I'm with you. I don't have any desire to participate in those threads. I don't see the appeal.

He may sound like an 18 year old kid but he certainly doesn't write like one.  I can't get a lot of kids to care that much about grammar, spelling, and punctuation on papers that they have to turn in (high school teacher).  I have kids from college emailing me and they can't be bothered with the capital letters and periods (not saying I'm judging it - email can be casual).  Most 18 yos I interact with just don't type like that.   They don't see the point.

Honestly I'm not sure why any 18yo dude would want to hang out around these parts. Sorry dudes.

I vote troll. I don't think he sounds 28. I think he sounds like what an adult thinks an 18 yo sounds like.

No, because I know I'm enjoying the time before I have it in my house.

I am not bothered by it if he really is an 18 year old boy. I have made great friends of all types on the Internet.

I think it's creepy and weird if he is anyone else pretending to be an 18 year old boy.

[smock]

That post gave me terrifying flash-backs to being an 18 year old, and even more terrifying flash-forwards to having an 18 year old.
