noa,

Well, if their feelings are internally generated, then I do not feel that I am responsible for anyone else's reaction that they may have for their reaction could be irrational in respect to the subject at hand. This was discussed here previously when a poster objected to me writing about God because the poster's parents were religious and somehow the religion in the family harmed the poster and my post supposedly could trigger bad memories of the posters parents in relation to religion. I feel that no one has to muzzle themselves to accomodate the unknown triggers to anothers past problems in their lives, for I feel that would be an unreasonable expectation to impose on any one.
