Yes I agree it applies to everyone. I think it's ok to get upset sometimes! But it's about keeping some perspective.

I think what I'm trying to say is I think it would be a poor forum indeed if we have to censor absolutely everything for fear of offending somebody. The threads would quickly get very bland. It is also infantalizing, it suggests people can't stand up to the rigour of teasing out their feelings and thoughts with other people talking about things that are really difficult. That they are too fragile.

The reality is we are all grown ups. We can all get a flare of irritation or feel upset, and then choose to go look at amusing pictures of cats to chill out or shut down our computer for a bit if the forum is pissing us off, and come back when we want to engage again.
