Trying my best
Age has little bearing on the value of the comments that people make. If someone speaks Torah truth I respect their statement. If someone is 65 years old but spouts am haaratzus and apikorsus I will not respect the statement and will feel free to attempt to correct the person or at least clarify the subject for the others who are reading and think that the person may know what he or she is talking about because of their age.
Age is NOT an accurate barometer for intelligence, knowledge or maturity. Yes technically an older person should be wiser more mature and more knowledgeable but it isnt always the case. Especially in areas of Torah where you have people who are past middle age who rarely opened a Halacha, Hashkafa or Mussar sefer in their lives. There are plenty of 50 year old children out there.
