You'll probably just say that it was your responsibility to go into the thread in the first place, (which I agree with) but, try to think of the reversed roles.

Good night.

I know that post was directed at Sarah (or at least I think it was), but whenever I've read something like that that triggered me, I've just gone "Oh, sh**." and left the thread. I don't expect people to change their emotional outlet for me or anyone else. I think we can agree to try and be more considerate but I don't think it's totally fair to expect people to censor their feelings somewhere designed to let feelings out. I just hope people use private journals rather than here, so they don't keep things locked up. I wish we didn't have to tell people to go elsewhere, is all.

And Rubik'sCube, that post was very well put together and I agree with what you've said.
