Shane is not a teenager, neither Ariadne, Freenode is not a kiddie thing, Freenode founder was already adult when he founded it, they had a 503 setup in the US with all the bureaucracy, had to move to UK for legal reasons, had visits from the FBI (it is mentioned in one of the logs). Offering tools to ban your enemies, while you know the network even had FBI involved in it, doesn't sound to me like childish behaviour.
