I wonder who is being accused of being harpies?

Oh any woman who dares to have a strong opinion (or an opinion at all I suppose!) is likely to be accused of being a 'harpy', amongst other things.

I've been one for years.

I get 'bulldog' or 'stubborn' if they're trying to be 'nice' :rotfl:

I live my sig I'm afraid.

You're spot on...

Until right now, this thread, the last 10 minutes, I've never even heard these letters ... I've absolutely no idea what it even means.

I haven't commented on it; hadn't even noticed it in the thread as it went over my head, whatever it is.

Until your post I hadn't even noticed I'd been "included" in something that I wasn't aware was occurring!

ED = Eating disorder.

Commonly anorexia or bulimia, but also overeating disorders and other abnormal attitudes towards food (which can include spectrum)

The comment about wastage at the all you can eat buffets was before/aside from EDs. I'm quickly scanning, but I don't think PN has commented about EDs (other than her own ASD related sensitivities) at all.

It was mumps and 7dw I think?

Yes SDW said about her friend asking them not to comment on what she was eating and I said I thought it was sad that she felt the need to say it.

I'm not sure how that makes us harpies and considering the moans earlier on about people being rude I feel that Feral Moon was very rude. Neithe SDW said anything nasty about people with eating disorders, quite the contrary in fact as I was saying people shouldn't make remarks like that to people with anorexia and SDW was pointing out that she has heard rude remarks to people who are overweight, I assume that overeating is as much an ED as anorexia is.

Don't worry I think it is SDW and me who are the harpies. Although if someone can point out anything nasty that we said about eating disorders I would be grateful.

Maybe I should explain about the problems I've been having with my bowels and how it has affected by eating. Do you want me to start with the symptoms, the colonoscopy, how I felt about the treatment?

Where I come from you just get called a !!!!!. I've never heard anyone being called a harpy.

Oh dear, should I have said a female dog?

Female dog really winds me up - I had an ex that thought it was an endearment. He thought it was funny when it made are angry...

Whatever, I know what I read or believed to read at the time. But I might concede to have become partially confused as my cognitive abilities are rapidly declining. Sorry. I didn't mean to offend anyone.

That apology sounds really sincere...

I'm off to bed now. I'm obviously getting grouchy.

In my house it is a term of endearment :rotfl: My daughter claims she needs therapy because of it.
