I used to dislike them when I was young, but maybe it's really that I just don't like middle-aged people. Now that I am one myself, I know it can be a rough time; the perks of youth have fled and the responsibilities have piled on. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy--or sometimes an asshole who descends into a destructive middle age crisis (I know a few people who have). But get a little older and you can mellow out and enjoy life again.
But anyway, because of all the abuse they are getting lately from some of the younger males on these forums, I want to use this thread as an opportunity to say I appreciate the older Boomers here and enjoy reading their posts, which are generally intelligent and articulate. Some of their detractors, in contrast, spout incoherent, typo-ridden messes, and others are glib and insulting without saying much of any value.
I think the Mid-Life phase has a tendency of making assholes out of many people, now that Xers are in that stage of life I'm finding myself liking them less. I'm sure we Millennials will go through a similar asshole phase in the 1T.
