    Glad to see that if I express that a joke has gone too far,
    that nothing will happen.
    Yet if I do it, it bites me in the ass, hard.

    I know: "Rules for thee, but not for me."

    Explain to me how this all works, cause I say something
    has gone too far, crickets.
    I go too far, and I hear about it.

    That is all, and I know I will be wrong no matter making
    a joke over the line, or pointing out when someone else does.

    I don't know exactly what you are complaining about, either in terms of the jokes, not exactly the worst the internet has to offer with just a dick reference, or in terms of prior action against you. I'm not sure exactly what you expect either.

    Sloths have a sneaky sexual nature to them. Apparently. It's news to me, too.

    Yayyy, sloths!

    I'm guessing that's why Sloth is one of the seven deadly sins :D

    While I don't want to get in the way of all the... slothy... jokes...

    This is happiness thread, so:

    I'm entirely debt free! On top of that my moving budget is looking better every day! I mean... it's mainly due to me living in the future and so I calculated with an entire extra month of expenses in Sweden, but still. I'm just happy I won't have to worry about money when I move!

    If anyone was legitimately offended, my bad, I'm sorry, that was not my intent.
    As far as I can remember, though, I really don't think I've personally ever called you out on anything, so I'm not sure what you're getting at there.

    There was nothing in this part of this thread that we felt needed moderation... which was why no action was taken previously.

    As a general principle if anyone is offended by another members post the best thing to do is report it and let us deal with it - the report function also gives you the ability to explain why said post is offensive if you feel it needs explanation.

    Lets all just move on shall we.

    TBH a bit of a reaction to confusion. Cause I know if I had posted something
    similar, the mob would be at more door to torch my ass.
    Also Flawed left site, and I know why. Though it has nothing
    to do with me, and I am not going about holding anything against
    anyone. Just still slightly confused on my end is all about a few
    things. Coulda happened to anyone, I still would have reacted
    in such confusion.

    Everyone knows where the report button is, and sometimes we mods need to reconsider our initial reactions to posts. However, none of us initially saw a problem with that weird little sloth festival on the last page, and since nobody reported an issue with it, we're not going to go back and reexamine it. We're here to moderate, not babysit.

    Fair point. :)

    Though some things go unreported.

    Well, they need to BE reported. We're not magicians or clairvoyant. (Not very, anyway...;)) Nor are we, as @Iain Aschendale pointed out, babysitters.

    'Nuff said. Let's move on and be Happy, shall we?

    Four out of five moving boxes are now sitting in Lost's house!

    While I really, really hope that the last one will arrive tomorrow - I'm still happy!

    ...especially since things on this side is moving simultaneously too fast and too slow. Four days and so much to do...

    Five boxes, my computer bag and a cabin bag is all I'm bringing to England. I do have a few things in storage in Sweden that we're picking up if we end up collecting Balt by car, or that we'll ship at a later date. Though it's just about two boxes, my guitar and some things my grandfather made.

    My cousin came to collect almost all of my furniture last weekend - so there will be no moving trucks for me!

    I've got about eight boxes with stuff I'll drop off at the local second hand store, though. I'm so happy I'm getting rid of most of my shit. Stuff - who needs them?

    I think blogging is kinda beneficial to my mental health.
    Mind you it is like having a silent one sided conversation,
    but at least it is doing some good for me at least.
    To the poor unsuspecting readers, well, who knows. :p

    I'm a little jealous. I've accumulated so much stuff that if I ever am forced to move, I'll probably just give the property a viking funeral. I mean, I could sort through it and simplify, but where's the fun in that?

    Moving house is going to be such a headache for me! I'm a massive hoarder, and I get really attached to my stuff, so I couldn't bear to give such a large percentage of it away. My dad's going to retire in a couple of years, and my parents plan to move to Devon with the rest of the family. My mum has suggested that I may have to contribute financially to any extra services that must be employed to get my forty-plus porcelain dolls there in one piece.
