Indeed, we're being accused of being old geezers. Remember, the discovery that fandom is getting older and the youngsters are being driven way is Brand New and nobody has ever made it before, no matter that the exact same argument was being made before I was born. Demanding that you should be able to opine on anything at all with no reference to facts or reality means that what they really want is to shout at clouds.

I know, I really do sound like the old fogeys who patronized me when I was coming into fandom. The longer I hung around, the more I mostly understood their air of amused impatience with me. I guess every generation has to learn it for themselves. In a generation, Jonathan is going to be so unhappy when the Cool Kidz tell him that he needs to just die already. Or maybe not; he's possible immune to introspection.

Thanks for the context on Danny. I gave up on him sooner, since it seemed clear that he is the Sole Authority on Everything. (Despite what it may seem to certain Johnathan McAlmonts, I don't consider myself the sole authority on anything. Heck, I even gave a wrong opinion speaking at least semi-officially on THA.org, and had to backpedal and say, "you're right, I'm wrong" when someone else pointed out that I'd misunderstood the rule in question.)
