I'll admit life experience would be helpful, but not everyone who is old has that. In some situations a young person could be helpful because they went through the same thing. Example, people get bullied, young and old, some stand up to their tormentors while others just pray they go away. A young person who stood up for himself could help an OP on how to resolve his conflicts by explaining how life went for him. Also, this provides empathy from the user because he understands what its like to be bullied, thus making the OP feel slightly better.
But I still say it does to the point of ruin. Look at doctors, scientists, cops, soldiers, all trained to put logic before emotion. Because feeling to strongly effects their work, emotions clouding logic.
Look at a serial killer, starts out doing everything logically, ends up feeling superior and making mistakes, emotions clouding logic.
If in extreme circumstances it exists, it must be considered to exist in all others. Looking at the posts on IIN actually shows a great deal of this theory. Otherwise intelligent people holding grudges and loosing their ability to argue logically is so common here.
It seems evident to me that logic and reason are effected quite strongly by emotional states.
But in some cases, all an OP wants to hear is that he's not alone. Both people, the OP and the commentator could be putting their emotions in their writing, thus the OP would be happy. In some cases logic is required, like when questions ask "what should I do?" But not everyone here is a doctor, we're here to help out others, some cases require emotion, but I'll admit that some require logic.
What portion of IIN is underage?

"but not everyone who is old has that"
Very true, that's why Tommy is so selective.

I'm not warm hearted enough to help their loneliness. I'll leave that to others, but I suppose I'm at fault for thinking only from my perspective.

I'll admit that we need people like you who can see beyond emotion.
