Contrary to your belief, you do not know enough to be judging others. You know enough to be a smart ass on an internet horse forum.

It's called self-moderation, and maintaining a higher level of character and respect.
Pot.  Meet Kettle. You are both fucking black.

FTF,  You are just as much an asshole as these riotous, disrespectful, uneducated, ignorant, know-nothing youths that you disparage.  Take some of your own advice before you decide to pound out another six paragraphs of condescending tripe - you are ALMOST as bad as Qmark, and that's saying quite a bit.  You experience and age do not automatically go hand in hand.  Experience is simply what it is.  I'm not one of the '20-something' crowd, believe it or not - I'm a bit older than that.  I am confident in my knowledge and experience.  I know when I'm outside of my field of knowledge - and how to find the person that can answer my questions.

Shiggins and GoFlip nailed the crux of the issue just above. Unwelcome or differing opinions are dismissed as the ramblings of someone who is uneducated.  Fact is FTF, there are young people that know just as much as you do, if not more in their areas of expertise.  If I wanted help while horse shopping, I'd pick different people to tag along for different reasons - if I wanted it evaluated as a serious eventing prospect, I'd call Shiggins.  If I wanted to know about a Barrel Horse I'd call GoFlip.  If I wanted to have someone wax poetic about pedigrees, I'd call you.
