skies_, I'm sorry you are having some difficulties in dealing with what triggers you on the forum(s). You are not alone in this as many of us have to deal with triggering information, members, opinions, etc.
As a communication forum, we can offer certain tools such as the ignore feature to help members in this area, and no, it's not a perfect fix all the time. There is a certain amount of personal responsibility that has to come into play in order to deal with our own triggers. Sometimes we can be very sucessesful in dealing with them and sometimes we struggle.
Unless a member is posting against our Community Guidelines, the Team has no way of taking action. We aren't here to judge who's opinions or personal truths are correct or incorrect. That is something for each individual member to decide when reading someone's posts. Each member can choose to accept or not accept what another has posted as to it's relevance.
Sometimes when we are struggling with our own healing process and emotions, we need to do what's best to control our triggers. Maybe it means taking a break from a particular forum for awhile, or at the very least only participate in a thread we create. Maybe, when we read something that triggers us, we get up from the computer and do something to take our minds off the trigger and the emotions we feel, going back to it later when feeling more calm and in better control. Maybe it's a matter of taking these issues to our T's and discussing our reactions to them and brainstorming to find better ways of dealing with them.
If you find something posted that you feel is against our Community Guidelines, please feel free to report the post to the Team. It's anonymous and no one knows but the Team. We'll look into the issue and take any action that the Guidelines allow us to take, if any. I hope you find a way to work through the problems you are having.
