Well I changed what I was going to say in the middle of the first sentence, mainly because what I originally planned to write sounded very condescending. You can disregard the sentence if you like, but all I was trying to say was that if I were starting this discussion? It would probably not go so well.

IMHO, I'm truly not trying to rock the boat or ignore the many and important contributions of underage fans to fandom. I'm just trying to ascertain how the issues of liability will be dealt with. , from your original post read like and apology and a disclaimer. Was I reading into something that wasn't there?

I don't think you have anything to apologize for, and was advocating that you don't apologize? I guess, I don't know it is all a bit fuzzy.
