Sometime reasonable wins...

If you have not tripped over heatherly's essay elsewhere, I encourage you to read it.

You know, if that's the sort of thing you like to read.

I say this in full admission of fact that I disagree, or rather, approach differently a couple of points in the second half of her essay -- primarily from a ideological and practical POV as opposed to disagreeing with her en toto of a writer's responsibility. I'm pretty sure I'll have additional thoughts on that in a bit, if I can get my thoughts organized in such a way as to present them as less contention than perspective.

HEE! I knew what you meant. And varying I think is actually important to the conversation (even if out of order int he sentence *g*) because Survivors and people with PTSD are not clones of one another.

Yes absolutely, and while I've been involved in discussions about warnings, PTSD and survivors wasn't something I'd even thought about until recently when someone with PTSD was reminded by someone else that her discussions about it could be triggers for others.

And thanks for reading my mind - I need one of those parental locks on my computer that will keep me off it till I've had a cup of coffee! No coffee = no brain. ;)
