I did not mean to offend anyone by making the generalization I did. It was a misunderstanding of my intent (directly my fault for not phrasing correctly).
I did not mean every thirteen year old is a UBER HACKZORS. There are plenty of older people who use L33t speak, as well as older hackers. I am not trying to typcast every thirteen year old. Though my own personal experience after nearly 3 years on battle.net has been that some of the most aggrivating experiences have involved young teenage males.
I love playing with people for who they are. Age holds no bearing to me. A few bad eggs ruin a reputation, and unfortunately I have found more bad eggs that are 13, than 25. Like it has been said in other posts, there are plenty of young players out there that are courteous and elequent in their use of english. And there are equally as many 'old men' who lack these qualities.
I stand only 5 years older, at the age of 18. I apologize for my post coming off in a manner that makes it seem I hold anything against any age group.
