Thank you.

PS as you can see, Doc John, as hard as he tries, can't make all of the people happy all of the time. Personally, I wish he'd delete the color red as well as orange from being able to be used anywhere on the site. I'm not going to ask, though. I take responsibility for myself and my own self care.

I was mostly pissed about the reaction on naysayers on my suggestions, and not about the 100% protection I cannot get. Even the Secret Service can't protect the candidates 100%.
Yes, I knew about red. I knew it could trigger, but like you told me just "don't look" at the groups I don't want to see, you can just"not look" at my post. I chose red to express the "tone" of my post, in spite of the emoticons. You know it's not what you wanted to see anyway, as it was going to be a rebuttal to what was posted. As you said, "take responsibility for myself" and just scroll quickly past the red post. AND, if you were going into this thread to view other technical subjects, that's just like I was wanting to go into the main view of social groups to see what groups have been added.

AND, BTW, I DO understand about migraines, and once in chat someone asked me not to use red. And guess what....(gasp!!!!)I was nice enough not to do it!!!!!!! I could have used red anyway, and red here too, but you see I didn't. I hope this makes you happy.

If red is such a trigger, it shouldn't even be AVAILABLE, especially on a site like this.

I don't expect 100% protection from stuff. But someone makes a suggestion about hiding forums that trigger them, and it was implemented. Why couldn't THEY just "take responsibility?" My suggestion is no different. I'm a nice person trying to suggest things that could benefit everyone, not just ME.

This new software has great features, such as social groups created by users.

But it does not hurt to ask I say, and I will always ask, whether someone thinks I should or not. And on that note, I'm posting another suggestion in technical support as soon as I check out this one feature first.

No one can make everyone happy all the time. If that were the case, the world would be a better place, with maybe not even so much anxiety, depression, and panicks.

Okay, so they can't do it. Case closed. THANK YOU.
