I've tried two pairs of earphones, they work perfectly fine on my laptop and my tablet but no sound comes through on my phone with them. 
Edit: Nevermind.
Turned the volume up, eh?
No, I restarted my phone. 
Seems to work alright now.

That works too. I bet that was maddening - had that happened to me, I would seriously be questioning my sanity.

Yeah, the volume was turned all the way up the first time I tried and no luck, then I tried another pair of earphones and just ended up restarting the damn thing. I'm so happy it's working now. No idea what caused it, the wires and all are fine and my phone is up to date and everything.

No one is condoning anything. Let's eject that notion right away.
Well then why no ban?

Well then why no ban? Do we ban people for opinions we abhor?

It's not the opinion, he directly insulted Nymphadora calling her a liar because she never reported her rape to the police, and at the same time belittling the pain and suffering she went through as a result of that rape (and by extension all rapes).
To be honest, if all that can be rationalised away as a "difference of opinion" I don't know if the fora here are worthy of my presence.

I'm sorry you feel that way. We do our best to make sure there is open communication on this website, and that any viewpoint can be discussed.
Drich is an odious person who just might be a sociopath. We prefer, in the general case, to let the forum-at-large deal with these opinions/attitudes rather than stifle them by fiat.
We don't, as a rule, action on insulting language or behavior. We are bound by our rules. I would hope you'd agree that handing out consequences for being insulting would make this place intolerable really quick. This has to apply evenly, even to the people we don't like, even when it happens to people we love.

I should probably just chalk it up to a stupid dream and move on.
Worrying about falling off the wagon is probably always in the back of your mind, I'd presume. It stands to reason that you'd have dreams/nightmares about it from time to time.
I'm guessing that if no actual urge is present, it probably would be best not to fixate on it, and move on.
Maybe focus on what's got your feelings tied in knot's instead?
Hell, IDK.
If you feel like talking, I'm around, though.

But, didn't Little Rik just get a warning for being insulting? Or am I remembering that wrong? What is the definition of flaming?
