I've known Max and Sirk for two years.
Since I have asked (repeatedly) for Sirk to leave me alone, I won't say anything about him, other than we used to be good friends.
But Max? Max is usually either very funny or deep. This time, however, Max turned this from "I disagree with you" without agreeing, disagreeing, or bringing up anything that the OP was about to "Depleted is my lesson plan about whatever I want the lesson to be about; therefore, the lesson is to teach everyone exactly how diluted Depleted is as if she isn't even here."
And truthfully, I never really noticed their ages. (I have a vague idea Sirk's age within a decade.) I honestly can't even guess how old Max is, because I never thought to look. I am noticing this "oooo, let's talk about her like she won't ever notice" attitude.
(As for your age? Until you brought up age, my guess for your age was "about my age." I just looked, and am surprised I'm wrong. lol)
So, question for you. That you think this had anything to do with their age? What's that say about who you've been listening to? (I'm also tired of the gossip brewing about that I've got some deal with age, too. My thing is "act your age," and considering this is a site that doesn't include children, then that should be roughly the same act.)
