Couldn't you write it about anything? Maybe the whole website should have a "trigger" disclaimer at the top so that individual users stop writing it at the top of their posts?
I have PTSD and it is so obvious now that I'm diagnosed. And I get triggered in real life but not from reading anything on the forums.

I am not completely positive about the meaning of trigger versus angry or upset - I am not saying there is not a difference - just that I don't know what it is.
Do I sometimes become frustrated, impatient, confused and even irate about another poster or thread? Of course I do, But I don't think it is being done at me specifically and I just stop (or try to - admittedly I should do it sooner sometimes) to stop reading or responding and go on to something I find more pleasurable.Sometimes I enjoy the debate.
So I doubt I would use the term trigger for anything here or in real life.
