I'm 21 nowadays, when I first started AH I was 17. I realized early on that the general population of AH isn't very tolerant of what they see as immaturity (yet everyone and their dog can whine about being ho'ed and picked and not check sixed and how some planes are ghey all day, really mature) Anyway, before I get off topic, if you act mature and are respectful to folks, you'll generally get respect back. There are a few exceptions, but that's what I've seen. Don't mind the folks who won't stop bothering you, just .squelch them and go on about your business. There's my two cents.
