I noticed an unconscious ageist heuristic at work in whether I engage seriously/flippantly with someone online. I engage seriously if I think they are the right age to make use of a serious response, flippantly if I think they're too young (rare) or too old (common).
No, it's age in relation to issue. Some topics I'm flippant because I'm too old or young.

Fwiw: I think all of us can use a serious response. If we are not stupid, we leave ourselves open to it even as we grow older

Not on all topics. There's a season for everything.
