Hi, let me see if I might be able to answer some of your questions and cover some of your notations, LizJane & Annie:
Typing the word "Trigger" in the subject line
or using the "trigger" icon (whichever method is used) would indicate that something could possibly be triggering to another person.
Triggers can include the following:
- images that are flashing or present movement (such as animated graphics)
- topics (such as suicide, abuse ... like about child abuse, domestic violence, etc)
- cutting, as in skin
Others may add more. Those were examples.
About the Nerds (no, I don't mean the Willy Wonka candy, which I love, BTW), you're both right. Geek is more in speed with contemporary times, only Nerd was the term used at OBT. Both terms: Okay by me.
