While technically, i'm not quite at the 60 and over age yet, still in the 50ish range, however, I do very much appreciate this forum more than any of the others.  It seems to be one of the few places where you can express your true feelings about what you like and make request without being raked over the coals.  Some of the other forums and boards have gotten so vicious, until no wonder people use aliases just to avoid being under attack.  While I don't necessarily agree with every topic nor do I have the same taste and desire as some others may have, I do agree with their freedom to express it without being ripped apart and belittled. Please keep up the good work and maturity in how accepting you are.  I love this forum.  

It can be amusing up to a point to see riots break out on the other boards, but after a while it becomes tedious.  

It really amazes me how cruel some of the posters can be, hiding behind a keyboard....

So wonderful that you mentioned it!  While I freely admit that I've made my share of mocking & even biting remarks, the level of nastiness on other forums here can be off-putting, to say the least.  

As I've entered my "golden years", I have found much good advice from this board. It's nice to be able to have open discussions without the meanness that seems to infect the other venues.  Thanks everyone!

Civility rules here..

it's fun going to the GD board once in a while and jump into the bar fight...

Some time ago, prolific character who infests the General board spent a few days here trying to tell us what we were doing wrong. He was treated civily and left probably thinking we were beyond help.
Viva Over 60!!!

I have not posted from time to time on other Boards because it will be a certainty that some troll will feel it is OK to turn the point of the post around and to focus some sort of criticism on the OP ..
I have never understood that about on line forums.. Makes zero sense..

Here's a great poem, in its entirety, by William Butler Yeats, "The Coming of Wisdom with Time"

Many took it as a joke and wondered why TER bothered. It became very apparent in a short time there was a need for this board and that there were many interested in joining in. There really isn't a required age to be here just the concept of being respectful with helpful a plus. I don't post here as often as I use to but each time I stop by there's always lots of interesting subjects that pertain to many of my friends.

When I started posting on the boards here I went directly to the GD board.  It was dreadful.  I still cannot understand why people enjoy being mean to one another.  This board is supporter, informative, and fun.  And I think the general level of sexual knowledge and experience here is far greater than any other board I've seen.

other times I'm more interested in exchanging barbs (general board).

Btw, when is nap time over here? LOL

Fuck off will you?  That said, being 55 you won't catch me here in 2020. Fuck, this whole "world" especially the GD is boring as hell. TER must be pleased.

It's ok when you lob a few grenades but others not so much? How's THAT work??

It makes perfect sense for a gal like DebbieDownerGirl to make HER "mocking and biting" comments, but no one else can.

I never said it wasn't ok.....free speech and all that. LOL

Give our ages, you'd think we'd be more cantankous!

But, I agree with you. I can't remember when I've visited the general board.

Stay away from me and Jack. We go waaaaay back. And don't worry. Maybe someday you can see a few of the ladies I'm lucky to see. Don't be jeaolous just because you're an old fart hanging out here on the 60+ board with all your "class." Have a great Christmas!
PS-did you REALLY give that one gal in Central Fla an 8/9? Seriously? THAT'S embarrassing. But she IS about your age so I guess it worked?  

some of my most memorable and wonderful encounters are with men in their late 50's, 60's and early 70's. Something about the way they treat women is undeniably pretty special and incomparable.

the people who mocked this board are surely still stuck in that mentality and thinking their thoughts are truth.  

My problem is that all that Wisdom in my brain doesn't leave room for memory

That's how it starts...

You didn't say anything bad.   And if they do come after you i'll cover you up where they can't get you .   You pretty girl.   Lol.
