[quote=treehouse;1317324]But EF....the thread in question was a news story, right? It was not about something that happened to you. Have any posts where you have told your story been deleted?

I have explained why this link was related to my issue in the original thread and in my above post. It was very relevant

Something I do appreciate about PC is that although so many of us have been through some really horrific experiences, we are almost always able to find ways to ask for support and to provide support in a gentle and respectful way.

I wasn't trying to be disrespectful or ungentle or trying to trigger anyone. I honestly didn't see what was wrong with my title when I posted it, I do now.

To me, it doesn't feel like being censored...it feels like being respectful of a community of really diverse people who each are bringing their own experiences with them when they come to read. Can we be perfect about not triggering people? Of course not. Movie theaters are really triggering to me, but I wouldn't expect anyone to know that. I'm sure EVERYTHING might be a trigger to someone. But some triggers are more obvious than others, and it feels right to be careful about that when we can.

I have posted hundreds of times, and I feel I am careful. What I find is sad is that because of this one time people are assuming I am trying to hurt others or be insensitive. If someone would have just told me that it was the title that had everyone upset, than I would have changed it to something else. ( I am not a mean person) As far as the link, well I put a trigger on it so those who are triggered wouldn't click on it. But those who aren't triggered by the story could still talk about this with me as it would help me decide what to do with my T. To me I thought I was being respectful. For those who still clicked on the link when being triggered by the title, well I can't be responsible for that, I did put a warning.
