of course everyone should protect themselves from stalkers because you never know how far it might go.
You're correct that any thread can be found triggering by someone but that doesn't mean that person can't say they find it triggering either. There is always the villified 'other'.

You know, not for nothing, this is from the community guidelines:
"Pedophiles, rapists, and others that have abused another individual physically, psychologically, emotionally or sexually (generally real or acted-upon) are not welcome here because our focus is on support for victims of such abuse; the two are not compatible with one another. Exceptions can be made on a case-by-case basis."
I would think that stalkers qualify under abusers. I frankly don't care if someone who has abused me can get emotional support or not. That's not my concern. If someone on this forum needs support for obsessive thinking about someone, I'm all about helping them handle their intrusive thoughts, but I'm not going to condone or pretend to condone abusive behavior.
This thread is about the damage that being stalked has done to us. If you want to start a thread about dealing with obsessive thoughts related to stalking then maybe that's what you should do, instead of coming on here and challenging people who have been the victims of this abuse.
