"I do not know if you are an abuse survivor/victim or not. Words written, a picture, a scent all these may be considered a "trigger." Triggers bring back the pain of the actual abuse as it was happening all over again. "
Cass......Thanks for posting thos thought. Many AREN'T aware of "triggers", and I would have never thought to post it as you did.
Well said....GREAT post.

Thanks for sending the original post, (you know who you are).
The following opinion you all may file in the "for what it's worth" bin...
As I said to my friend in email, Bleep's post was definitely in [u]extremely[/b] poor taste. Worthy of deletion? Iiiiiiiii-dunno. A tough call. For a sarcastic observation/commentary about Bill's efforts (and the entire silentlambs agenda) it was OUT THERE... a stretch, to say the least.
I know there are former abuse victims that lurk/post here. Offending them (or anyone) shouldn't be one of the goals of posting, but that goal should be balanced with a need for people to extend to others the right to express themselves.
Now, I don't know Bleep. WAIT A MINUTE!!... that didn't come out right!
What I mean is, I don't know the poster that posts as Bleep. *whew!* He's a watchtower apologist on the level of You Know, right? Then one simply must take whatever Bleep says with a grain of salt.
'Course, deleting his post works, too. All I know is that if it had been me and I was a mod, I wouldn't have done anything. Maybe it's a good thing that I'm not a mod, eh?

>> What Bleep wrote was descriptive pornography meant to shock and insult.
Alchemist,
I'm glad I read it myself since now I can say that my viewpoint is different from yours. I saw descriptive wording but nothing I'd liken to pornography.
And maybe I'm giving him a little too much credit (since I don't normally read Bleep ), but I don't think his intent was to shock or insult. I think he was making a statement about Bill and the fact that Bill has been on TV so much lately. I could be wrong, tho.
Teejay-
Bleep's post was definitely meant to shock. I too read the original post and it was horrifying. I couldn't believe it. Sometimes people go too far.
