I err on the side of caution, for 2 reasons.
1) I'm very sensitive right now
2) I don't want to upset nice people.
I think better to err on the side of caution.
First, sensitive folks like me are pretty wary already. at least we will know not to read certain threads until we are in a good, strong state of mind.
Second, folks who are unaware of the triggering thing will learn more about what are potentially disrupting and devastating topics. Just because they are not personally sensitive doesn't mean that they won't be thoughtful when considering other's feelings. Supportive people who care about supporting others need to learn about this stuff, to help them be supportive.
sorry for inarticulation (blah blah)
I'm in favor of Mid-Blues suggestions for implementation.
