How did I get an Achenar permit?

Oh [expletive], that is horrible and makes sense for why it is a trigger for you. Insane that a place would treat a child that way.

I can say that is not the common experience.

Fortunately, in much of today's popular culture gamer/nerd/geek whatever you wanna call it has moved to mainstream. Almost everyone on the street is a gamer in some capacity. I'd like you to find one person who doesn't at least play some Facebook game (and yes, those count!) or wouldn't be totally willing to throw down on some Mario Kart 64.

But this brings us to the whole conversation going on in workplaces and college campuses today. Triggers. How far do we go to protect people's real and raw feelings? How much of our own personal freedom do we get to keep? How do we tear down debilitating stereotypes without bringing them up (usually laid bare through jest)?

Really, I want to be sensitive to your feelings, but at the same time I don't want to restrict free speech, especially when the intent is not malicious.

I over-reacted , no one should censor anything... sorry.
I just had like a massive flashback when I read that post , normaly that does not happen anymore but what ever I should have been more aware of the harmless intent.

Thank you.

Hey, that isn't your fault. Your past experiences have set you up for that kind of reaction.

The grown up thing you did was recognize it and understand it. That puts you worlds ahead of most of the folks I know.
