Thanks Jen
You nailed just about every feeling I had while reading these posts.
I felt it was like marketing hyperbole as well, and that the statement about leaving babble may read more as a threat than a need, perhaps because it's been used several times, over different issues.
And after I wrote about the trigger warnings not hurting anyone, I re-thought it, and too felt that it would become unweildy, and yet not make it really any safer for more people.And Larry, yes I *do* know, I know very well what it's like to be devasted emotionally, and so do I daresay, most of us here.
I resent the implication that if I don't agree with you fully, somehow I'm being insensitive.
This cannot be reduced to this one facet, there are many issues here that require sensitivity, and thought.Right now I'm too angry to respond to any more of this, you might even say triggered.
I'm not saying that to be petty, it's true.
And it's another reminder to me, that you can't protect everyone from everything that may disturb them.
