In reply to the discussion: Ending 3G Service Sparks Fears of an 'Alarmaggedon' [View all]Celerity
(53,452 posts)17. I do not do 'OK Boomer' as it would make me look like a hypocrite when I object
to the negative framing of younger people/voters that is all too common by some here (not you, just to be crystal).
I also realise that I am on a Boomer and up dominated (and surely first half Gen X and up utterly dominated) board and have zero desire to start a gen war (I am right on the cusp of Millennial/Gen Z, born late summer 1996) that would likely end in my demise as a poster here, if not in loss of account (although that is very likely), then most certainly in terms of loss of credibility and respect with the majority of my fellow DU'ers (and rightly so).
