hi Larry,
I understand that what I'm coming out in favor of -- voluntary red checkmarks or voluntary dropdown arrows to select trigger topis - might not completely address all of your needs/preferences. I wasn't trying to imply that voluntary reporting could or should satisfy you entirely.I guess I'm thinking of what would be a fair balance between YOUR preferences (the preferences of the "Sensitive People") and the preferences of the rest of the community. And of course since I *don't* know what it's like to be anyone but me, I'm hazarding my own best guess based on my thoughts and ideas about this place. My ideas might not match up with the majority or even the minority here, I know.
I know that it will be impossible to get it perfect for everyone. To me, voluntary use of a red check might be a good balance between the needs of the two groups.
It's not that I don't care about you and the way you are triggered. I do care. But when I, as a mere user, think about changing rules of this Babble place, I think about it in terms of what would be best for the community as a whole. That may be why my recommendations don't match up with what you'd really like to see done.
Even if I don't agree with what you want, I am still sympathetic to you. Would you be willing to compromise at all? Even if the rules weren't perfect for you, would you be partially satisfied (and stay here) if they were made at least somewhat better than they are?
