Thank you Wayne for your prompt response.

What is disturbing to one person may not be to most others.

IMO there would have been no way to acknowledge the Orlando shooting without it being disturbing.  It didn't take much to make me cry all that day.

The forum "Among Friends" is a softer place to be from what I've seen, I don't think we need to make all forums like that, but I agree we also don't need gore for the sake of gore.  But who's to define what is too much?

Oh boy, isn't this place censored enough?

I agree that this idea would be too hard to carry out due to the subjective nature of what is bothersome to some vs others.

I do wonder how one protects themselves from the ugly that is on the news, internet, etc if they are sensitive?

You'd have to live under a rock, sorry but that's what I truly believe......

I'm really not sure what topics or discussions you are referring to but I' m really against trying to categorize what some may think as gruesome. Others may not be bothered by it and who is going to determine that? 

If it's been in the news then it is open for dicussion (except for politics).

Let me edit my above post by saying that I guess you are talking about the boy and the alligator.  But, it has been all over the news so it's open for discussion.

Seriously, by now we all know how to google for anything so these kind of disturbing threads are really not needed on forums here. I think some people get a satisfaction with posting about disturbing things in the news and that says a lot about the person posting and not necessarily the news the person is posting about it. JMO.

What's very frustrating (for me, anyway) is that people post numerous threads about the same thing. I think there are 3-4 threads just in CC about the alligator and the little boy. It's like certain posters simply have to be the first to post anything that's gruesome or tragic. When something updates, they run to the forums to post a new thread about it, instead of simply posting on the existing one.

Why is one thread not enough? Why can't everybody post on one thread about the subject?
