A happily married fellow living a rather lazy *insert-nationality-of-your-choice-here* dream. Let's just say I'm a fan of my wife. We're a happy kickin' family (no toddlers as of yet, but I promise updates as the situation develops!)
Also, a note regarding the Sift - downvote more. Since the queue escape limit is becoming comparatively small due to the increasing amount of users voting, feel free to downvote stuff you feel mustn't be published. And please, do not get too upset if anybody downvotes your submissions - instead inquire politely as to any reasons for such a decision, if it's not already pointed out in a comment (I usually leave an explanation for my more guilt-inducing downvotes and so can you).
Science + Actionpack = my favorite channels' couple.
At least right after Sexuality + Gay.
Seriously though, I love this place and so should you. If you don't, odds are you're doing something wrong. Try stopping trolling, for instance ;) If the Sift's taking up too much of your leisure time - there's nothing I can help you with, unfortunately. It doesn't further my procrastination, really; worst "curse" of mine is regularlydownloading legally obtaining a number of TV-series for me and my spouse to watch :)
Cheers, EDD

Thanks for suggesting fun stuff, it's what I like most, and I'm open to any other suggestions you may ever have for me!
Also, I just inducted you into my "Absolute best of likable folks" playlist a.k.a. my Hall of Sift fame. Having lurked here as much as I have, I feel comfortable saying you're a likable, good-natured person and your recent sarcastic anti-homophobia video was a nice addition to my playlist
Cheers, Ed

You can think what you will about my love life. It's perfectly healthy and I'm signing a lease with my boyfriend tomorrow. Just because I am disgusted by public displays of affection does not at all mean I don't know love. I just feel it should be a private affair. No one else needs to know the intricacies of your relationship - it's disgusting. Again, there's nothing wrong with the way Dag and Persephone or Issy and DFT interact on here. I much prefer that to what I've seen with others.
You're right. It was blown out of proportion - but not by moodonia or me. Karkarlee asked ObsidianFire to confront moodonia publicly, and he did so. THAT was the problem. I didn't claim to be the moral police, nor was I the only one that had a problem with the situation. I just may have been more vocal than others. And in case you hadn't noticed, I am oh so very worried about creating "long-term problems" on a website that I can choose to frequent as often as I like.
I don't have a problem with the way I act, and neither does anyone I care about. I will make my own decisions, and I don't need opinions of a strange man who obviously doesn't make perfect decisions himself. [Married at 20, maybe.] When you're perfect, then by all means interject your opinion on my actions. Until then, please keep to judging me from afar.
In reply to this comment by EDD:
Unfortunately, you obviously missed karkarlees initial response to moodonia. Yeah, and by the way - it was there before obsidianfire joined in. She did respond to him herself and did it well.
Also, seeing as how you don't grasp the idea of protectionism (mild jealousy) in a relationship and cuddling over the internet (it happens in text messages, too, you know), I'm inclined to believe you've not known love. Possibly you're/have been in one of those arranged relationships, in which at least one partner's faking it for their benefit. I wouldn't know and I'm not assuming anything beyond a simple reason for your complete inability to empathize in this situation. Yes, and it does speak volumes about your character, as does the fact that you've know referred to yourself as 'bitch' a couple of times. One might almost think karkarlee's not really the one with problems of self-respect/confidence.
And of course they had a problem with this mess. You and moodonia (unexpected of him) blew it out of proportions. Even if stuff's in writing (and oh noes, on the inhumane internet), YES, it can still offend anyone. So you'll be the moral police, telling everyone off when they raise objections towards what somebody's saying? It was still a discussion and it wasn't like Obsidianfire petitioned to have modoonia banned. If you've not realized it yet, the only one having/creating long-term problems here for themselves and others was you, and you did it on purpose, so don't bitch about it now, please.
Anyway, nice job on your attempts to reform a woman who's not as blunt and hardened as you are by being mean to her and her boyfriend for no real reason other than your dislike towards their type of relationship. Oh, and do inform me on how that attitude of yours of carrying out acts of disruptive behavior in internet/social communities/societies and not answering to anyone other than yourself works out in the future, will you?
Best of luck, Ed.
In reply to this comment by LittleRed:
I am not a snob; I am a woman. I am strong and I speak my mind. People who promote the "women are weak! Rescue them!" stereotype disgust me. I also realize that I am a bitch. I am generally told so on a weekly basis. I'd rather be a bitch than allow someone to walk all over me, or have a man speak for me.
I understand my opinion means a lot less to people [less than if I were polite] because I'm a bitch. I get it. But I would respect a bitch over someone who won't even address a stranger to say "Hey, this makes me uncomfortable," and sends her boyfriend in to mess things up.
If comments from guys on the internet offend you, you have a problem. If you can't even say to the offender "Hey, I don't really appreciate being hit on; would you mind not doing that again?" for fear of not being taken seriously, you need some counseling in self-worth. How to stand up for yourself. If you have a history of doing this kind of thing, even more so. If you send your internet boyfriend in to "clean up the mess" only to not back him up when he starts a shit storm, that's a problem. If you think the original comment is sexual harassment, you have a serious problem.
It's obvious to even a blind person that the two are dating. They spread their stickily sweet lovey-dovey relationship on every comment written, every blog post, even their profile. Maybe internet relationships just have to communicate their attachment to everyone in fear the next internet girl or guy will steal their partner away? I don't understand the meaning behind that, and I do find it curious that the only two couples on here who aren't content with making the occasional comfortable relationship comment (i.e. Issykitty and DFT OR laura and DonJuan, OR Dag and Persephone) are long-distance, on another continent couples. Ugh. That aside, it's obvious they're dating. Anyone who makes a comment like "Maybe we should talk" is OBVIOUSLY not intending that as a pick-up line, especially with a militant boyfriend around the corner.
If you want to label me as a feminist, I will proudly accept that label. However, unlike some, I don't want to give a bad name to feminists for my views. By that, I mean I don't speak for anyone else or females in general when I say what I do. I think it's disgusting that she's running to someone else to do her dirty work, and even blames that on the fact that she's female and has had less-than-perfect interactions with men in the past. Do I scorn her for showing "feminine" traits in this situation? If you want to consider those "feminine traits," be my guest. I see weakness and a complete lack of self-respect, or self-confidence. She purports to be extremely confident in her relationship, to the point that she allows her boyfriend, as long as he's on another continent, to watch porn. [Considering that's the way their relationship is, fine. But when her views on porn in anything other than a long-distance relationship are the same or similar to the ones thepinky and I were trying to share, she shouldn't have acted so self-righteous.] Yet at the same time, she's not comfortable enough to have a strange guy make a perfectly innocent, somewhat flirtatious comment, and neither is her boyfriend.
In addition, I do not "continuously troll a website with [my] snide comments." Sure, I may contribute a snide comment on occasion - the only two I can think of outside this discussion are the comment to LadyDeath about how she should apologize for quoting thepinky on the porn thread, and to K0MMIE when he attacked me in his post on the same topic. No, I may not contribute much video-wise. As I've said before, I joined for the discussion; I'm not a vote whore. In topics that are not emotionally charged or sexist, my comments are well-thought-out and generally appreciated. I have several comments from the first few months I joined that, if the comment voting system had been in place, I would have a star by now. Sure, maybe that doesn't negate the fact that what I have said recently, some people may consider out of line. Then again, I don't have to answer to anyone but myself.

Your snobbish attitude disgusts me, LittleRed: this feeling trumped over my surprise when I just found out you're a female. I also have a feeling that you deliberately reserved those thinly (at best) veiled insults for the last paragraph-again. This trait of yours is despicable.
I must say I have hell of a lot more respect for a lady who turned to her mate for assistance in a discussion that made her uncomfortable for good reasons than for one who basically continuously trolls a web site with her snide comments and attacks a fellow female for showing.. what, feminine traits in an internet conversation? Her vulnerability? How does that concern/offend you, exactly?
To be fair I am completely at a loss as to why you're being this aggressive (feminism?) when discussing similar topics. I'd like to know why. And yes, I'm not hiding my dislike towards the way you've behaved on this site.

To the second part of your question, when you agreed with spoco2 it appeared that you were agreeing with everything he said, not just the part about the porn music. In essence you said you were amazed at how much he and you think alike. That strongly suggested to me that you were also tired of the in-jokes. Again I apologize for misconstruing your meaning. At that time several people were loudly complaining about in-jokes, and your statement seemed to be part of that chorus with the way you worded it.
Of course I remember you asking my permission about your video, and that's why I found it odd that you would complain later when I did it. That was my OMGWTFBBQ moment. Again, the way you worded your reply to spoco2 made it sound like you were in complete agreement with everything he wrote, which is why I thought you didn't like the in-joke about rottenseed.
A series of unfortunate misunderstandings, apparently. I apologize for my part in these misunderstandings.
In reply to this comment by EDD:
First off- I wasn't reprimanding anyone for using an in-joke (note that "an in-joke" is a broad generalization); what I meant, and that's more than obvious, hell, it's the frackin only literal interpretation, was, "I don't like anyone else but YOU and blankfist doing your gay jokes". Gay jokes involving you, not in-jokes in general. Why, you ask? Simple. It makes anyone doing them look like a homophobic copycat. And I wouldn't like to think MG is one, would you?
Second - How on Earth does anyone, you kp, of all people, interpret my expression of enjoyment of a video's ambient music as "admonishing you for doing an in-joke"? WTFBBQ, anyone?
Third - I don't think I need to remind you that when I renamed my video http://www.videosift.com/video/My-wife-TOTALLY-hates-it-when-I-do-this to "Why kronosposeidon is divorced", I specifically asked you for permission and it was you who suggested the title. And it wasn't a gay joke involving you and another user of the Sift. AND even if it had been, I still get to call STALE on something that's getting old; hell, having done it even raises one's qualification in telling whether something's becoming overused or not.
In reply to this comment by kronosposeidon:
>> ^EDD:
If there's anything stale on the sift then that's someone else apart from kp or blankfist doing THEIR gay-pair jokes. Unfortunately that ain't the only reason for me to refrain from upvoting this. Sorry.
Come come, EDD. Why do you chastise Gunny (and blankfist and me) for using in-jokes, just like you admonished me for an using an in-joke in this instance, even though you felt comfortable using an in-joke about me when posting this video only a few weeks earlier?
If you don't like the video then that's fine. Hell, downvote it for all I care. But please don't take anyone to task for occasionally using an in-joke, especially when you've done it yourself.
