I tend to be triggered by the highly evocative and more descriptive posts versus a post about the behavior as a concept. That does seem like a difficult line to draw. I suppose one way might be to alert others to any kind of description of an act or event versus talking about the idea in general. Providing any details at all starts one down the path of "seeing" it themselves, perhaps.
