Lar, I would gently remind you that you are not alone here in suffering from PTSD, and that I too appreciate having trigger flags on posts and threads. I also appreciate that humour has its place in our online world, and it's always up to us as the consumers to tread carefully in it. I don't see it as an attempt to make "lite" of the word itself's significance.

And perhaps it's worth a reminder that if you see something that you consider to be an infraction of the guidelines here, a more appropriate way to make your concern known would be to use the Notify The Administrators button, so the deputies could take the matter up for consideration. Otherwise, we can get drawn into the tempests that do little but further fan the flames of our own trigger points.

Respectfully,
CS
