Why are you taking this personally?

I'm not. That's your imagination. I'm not exactly a senior citizen. LOL

We KNOW who the harpies are. They have admitted it in the past.

Admitted what, pray tell? The only time I've ever heard the word "harpy" other than here is on the television series "Rome", referring to an attractive, sexually manipulative woman. I'm not sure what you're saying, but I probably don't want to know. You should probably spare me.

Are you "protesting too much"?

I think I'm protesting just enough, thanks. You're evidently unaccustomed to being challenged on your use of someone's age and gender to belittle them. Whatever.

The only time I've ever heard the word "harpy" other than here is on the television series "Rome", referring to an attractive, sexually manipulative woman.

Then maybe you should start to read more. TV stunts your ability to understand the English language.

I'm not exactly a senior citizen. LOL

I gathered that. That's how I know you get your information from tv.

You're evidently unaccustomed to being challenged on your use of someone's age and gender to belittle them. Whatever.

Not really. You are not the first girl I have proved wrong when debating the use of words.
