        @neiltyson I'd call that very mature. Even kids deserve the respect of being talked to face to face.

        @neiltyson That isn't immature, that's treating kids with respect.

        @neiltyson Maturity is a gimmick. You can be intelligent and still have a fun life.

        No, that just shows you're wise enough to treat kids as people, @neiltyson - and I think that's a wonderful thing.
