I've been over at Empty Closets for about five years. And when I started there, I resolved to treat everyone there as an adult. Because they were (mainly) there for information and support, about what most would term "adult things", so it made sense to treat them as such. Yes, sometimes they lack the knowledge and experience if an adult, but I can fill them in the same way I'd fill in an adult. And nearly every time, the ECers respond in kind. They're appreciative of the knowledge and of the respect I afford them.
Occasionally, I'll critique an ECer's behavior, either on the board or in his/her story where he's asking for advice. And nce in a great while, I'll get the response "Hey, I'm just a teenager/kid." Which to me is them saying "You can't expect anything more from me." It's perhaps telling that I get this from 17-year-olds far more often than 13-year-olds. They've already learned to try play both sides of the street. They want and expect the freedoms of an adult without the responsibilities. And I think that's a dangerous precedent to set, especially on EC. HIV won't give you backsies because of your age. The guy you Skyped with last night isn't required to go easy on you because you're still in high school. If you're going to do adult things, you'd best be prepared for adult responsibilities.
Maybe that's where JUB parts company. it's just an internet messageboard. Of course, Ench IS trying to fuck his professor. And if anyone is wondering why he's continuing towards that goal despite our protestations to the contrary, I'd say your comments provide the best (but not only) demonstration why.
We don't think he's capable of any better.
And, in fact, that's precisely what JUB apparently finds so appealing about him.
He's "refreshing". He's got a "youthful innocence". And hot legs, too. He's like JUB's pool boy. Simple (in all senses of the word) eye-candy for us to indulgently smile at while he engages in his "youthful antics". And maybe we can fantasize about blowing him once in a while, too. And like most "pets", he's given a long leash. We shoudn't punish him for his misdeeds - he doesn't know any better. The mod team has suggested that "maybe he'll learn" from this infraction, but I'm guessing JUB as a whole is hoping he doesn't. I mean, nobody wants a smart pool boy, do they?

I don't know who these are. And I missed seeing the picture of those taunting legs in the OP
