Late to the party but I see this is as a dig at so called "snowflakes" (in the fight club sense).

[quote user="David Mills"]Do you see the connection between the post titles and trigger warnings?

Evidently Mr G did not. [/quote]

Yes, I did, the problem was it didn't really work because it relied on the reader reading multiple posts that were not obviously connected and would soon become non-sequential.

That is why I renamed the posts in such a way that the point would become clear.

It's good forum etiquette to use thread titles which give the reader some sense of what the post discusses, so readers can concentrate on the things that interest them.

I meant it backfired because it didn't stimulate debate, as can usually so easily be done here, until Arlo renamed them.

[quote user="Clare Tapsfield-Wright"]David I’m sorry but you’ve lost me there with the relevance of your first sentence. [/quote]

Never mind, as you were. [quote user="Clare Tapsfield-Wright"]Yes I did see the connection with the titles and trigger warnings.[/quote]

Given your first sentence, I do very much doubt it, respectfully be it put. Never mind.

Quite something to get a thread trying to antagonise someone that their threads "backfires". Truly peculiar place this is becoming.

[quote user="Clare Tapsfield-Wright"]why do you assume that I did not read them or find them thought provoking? I always find JWs posts interesting but the titles of these seemed out of character. [/quote]

Because I'm a man, evidently, oh and white and fairly middle class.

Yes I did see the connection with the titles and trigger warnings. I think we should all be mature enough to cope without trigger warnings on this forum. We can always just scroll on by

I think you all rather missed the point of his posts. Never mind, carry on giggling like schoolchildren. Irony palpable

I'll be honest and admit to being a little worried, as it all seemed a bit bizarre. Hope everything is ok
