When I first entered into this discussion I suggested automated filters as part of the solution. I now agree that they will not work here.
I still strongly prefer a non-mandatory system such as I discussed at http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/admin/20060225/msgs/620768.html.
I could live with a mandatory system that was simple, non-punitive, allowed a "reasonable person" interpretation of the rules, resolved ambiguities in favor of the poster, and was not expansive in its definition of a trigger.
Larry, I'd like to see a complete proposal of your thoughts on this. Your ideas sound good and if we are to have a mandatory system, I'd like it to be based on the ideas that you have put forth. Truthfuly, it seems like this whole idea of trigger warnings is bogged down and nothing is going to come from this, but I hope for your sake and the sake of many others that something gets done.
I encourage you to not get too discouraged if nothing comes of this. Sometimes it takes ideas a while to sink in and if nothing comes from this now, what has been done here will prepare for some action at some time in the future.
