BS
God not another one.
What's with the "age-ist" attuitude of some forumers?
People can be TV-pres enthusiasts at any age, not just - say - post-18 or whatever. I've been into TV-pres since childhood. If I was, say, 12 at the moment (I'm 25), I'd be mightily p*ssed off at being "bullied" on this forum, just because of my age.
Young TV-pres fans have as much right to be discussing their interest here as older ones. There's been plenty of ADULTS on this forum over the years who talk out of the wrong orifice, and kids can have a decent contribution to make. Mere age is NOT what seperates sensible contributors from idiots
If ASA and/or the Mods introduced a bottom age-limit for membership, that would be another matter. As far as I'm aware, there isn't one currently, therefore kids have every right to be here. So, enough already with "age-ist" comments.

I don't think it's ageist. There are plenty of young members on here who contribute loads. Not that I can name them but I'm sure they exist
However seamus90210 is a prat and this is why he gets stuff directed to him. Oh and of course to excuse the fact he is a prat he uses the excuse "BUT I'M ONLY 12". well boohoo.

I see no reason for the Advertising Standards Authority to get involved.
Is the person behind this website not called ASA?
Are you making a little joke, or have I made a t*t of myself?

Well, much as we all owe him a lot of respect, I don't think he quite qualifies for capitalisation of his entire name. Not even deities usually get that!
You mean his name's the word "Asa", not the acronym "A.S.A."?
I thought it stood for something! (e.g. Andrew Simon Adam (+ surname) or whatever), that's why I capitalise it.
"Asa" sounds a bit of an unusual name. Is it short for something?
