I am too. And I am understanding how peoples' feelings work. And I am understanding how fragile people can be. And I am understanding what works best for the group. And I am understanding how to control my own actions (in words.)

I have to wholeheartedly agree with a trigger flag, even though in my case that would probably be a "Click here" flag for me. The entire substance abuse board is a trigger flag for me, but I click there all the time.
> What about my idea of a radio button, that Babblers can express their feeling of being triggered by a post.....such that if enough people do so, a trigger flag is produced. The threshold value for that has to be worked out by experience. We can't pick the perfect number ahead of time. The threshold is not yet known, but with open minds, we can sort that out, too.That sounds like a good idea to me. How about just a trigger rating on each post? (ie) everything is "flagged," but just rated by the posters on a scale of 0-9? Of course initiated by the original poster and average from then on...
