    See, this is what I mean. It's hardly "triggering" me, or anyone, except for yourself clearly.

      "Jesus christ calm your bitch flaps" sure reads as triggered to me.

        That's because you're actively upset about the content being posted on DN right now, and in this state of mind most things you'd read would be interpreted as people being as upset as yourself. That's not unusual, tbh. The effect can be especially apparent if you're not usually used to hearing/reading someone who swears colloquially.

        In actual fact I don't give a shit, as almost everything posted on DN is effectively spam anyway, and content moves so slowly here that it's almost welcoming to see movement on threads. Even if it is pointless 3rd party robospam.

        However I just like to kick the soapbox out from under someone who clearly needs it done to them.
