Did I over-post on this subject?
This whole thing has been growing in me for a long time, as an issue to discuss. And now it seems the issue has come up through the posts of others, including Dr. Bob. So, maybe I can not feel guilty asking for something (you didn't have my childhood, so....whatever), because I didn't start it.
I can't believe that we're so protective of individual sensitivities that a responsible and solid member of our community can get blocked for *implying* the word f*rt (something we all do, every day, by the way, f*rt f*rt f*rt), but there is no protection against insensitive or even intentional provocation of emotional distress through graphic expressions of SI, or threats of imminent self-harm.
I'm not asking for anything to change, other than a requirement for proper warnings. No censorship is involved.
