The person concerned is twelve, and isn't thirteen until next year.

The years since they left primary school was merely my way of pointing out that he is actually a young person, and not as many still think an adult, posting under an assumed name. I did this to help protect his anonymity, not knowing forum rules about age. As far as I was aware I thought a twelve year old could be a member here, the same as anyone else.

I do feel guilty, if it it turns out they are unable to post until forum administrators receive written parental consent, allowing their child to participate on Accy Web.

I do not feel guilty about revealing their age if it helps prevent the continuing sniping aimed at them.

I hope they do carry on posting.

Enthusiasm isn't a crime, even if others might not share it.
