I think Larry's just asking that people refrain from postings where "trigger" is clearly being used in a lighthearted vein.
I doesn't bother me when people do that - I can usually figure out which trigger warnings are serious - but I think Larry's concern is that if it happens a lot some Babblers will blunder into reading something truly triggering that they'd rather avoid because flippant use of the "trigger" label drains it of its power as a warning.
