Hi jake,
I think maybe you're misunderstanding the topic of this thread. Did you read back through it? It's not about posting anything that's inherently *wrong,* or about insults, etc., but about triggering posts for people with various sensitivities, e.g., csa, S/I (either meaning) and more. These posters are concerned with their past experiences of unwittingly stumbling on upsetting language and descriptions in posts on *any* board which trigger a PTSD episode or similar very unpleasnt reaction. The discussion is kind of a brainstorming to come up with a way to prevent that, or at least reduce the likelihood as much as humanly possible, while at the same time educating those who genuinely have no idea something they've written about could trigger others.
I may not have explained that well, but hope it helps. Warm regards to you, too - I've always liked your sign-off ;-) - 10der
