> Perhaps there ought to be two separate boards, one for adolescents and young adults, another for older and middle aged adults.

(b.b.) I don't think there should be any age discrimination. :-(

> The inter-generational cross-overs of enneagram discussions are creating havoc for those of us (older ones) who are trying to maintain decent discussions while sitting in a scene that feels and looks like 'Animal House' by presumably the younger generations.

(b.b.) I value everyone's opinion, not based on age.

> This inter-generational mixing has done nothing but create confusion, distortion, and genuine disorder in all rounds to go.

(b.b.) You are entitled to your opinion, however I do not agree.

> And although some have contributed quite thought-provoking, well-rounded and intended, challenging discussions, others have simply contributed to their own personal level, which I'm sure is the preference for the younger ages (I, too, at one time, too, used to prefer 'anarchy' myself, even), it's pretty much time to take leave.

(b.b.) Responding from personal experience can be very helpful.

> My only suggestion for the other older ones still around, is to create another board for the older, middle adults, and reserve teh younger one for the majority of young participants.

(b.b.) Pretty soon, we will have to have a board for just women
and then one for just men. Aren't we all human?

> Either way, my best regards to however you structure this for the betterment of the group as a whole most hopefully not to the demise of the minority stakeholders.

(b.b.) Just some thoughts I had about this post and I must say
I think I am answering as a 4w5, INFP.
