Well... maybe I'm still quite unsure okay with it in theory, but after seeing what happened with Cora's thread, I'm concerned that even with a subject heading obviously indicating unpleasant subject matter people might still be upset that it didn't spell out the word *trigger*
I re read her post and did not find it at all graphic (as it was described)And I'm concerned that sometimes there will be more indignation over whether or not it said trigger, than upset caused by the actual subject matter. This draws attention to those claiming that they are triggered by the post and away from the poster.
That could be really painful considering these are likely posts that written during a particularly difficult time for the author.And I think it's up to Bob whether or not it becomes a blockable offence.
