We can't tie their hands down to prevent them from moving. And it's their fire (as in likelihood of being upset).Another example of subtleness of talking about Happyflower. Very discreet, but everyone one knows who you are talking about.

I choose to denfend against animal cruelity. Just because there is a trigger warning on something doesn't mean it is appropriate. If someone joked about child cruelity, would it be concitered civil? I think not. I am not triggered, I am discusted at what is allowed to be posted here without any please be civil warning. I am sure I will get mine for speaking out because I am speaking out against the deputies. Very big power difference. They aren't just posters like us, they have power. Maybe it isn't in the best interest for them to be able to be a regular poster. Mixed roles, not a good thing when one has more power than another in a friendship or babble friend or otherwise.
