That's what *I* was going to say!!
You're all correct in the reasoning behind trigger warnings. If you know that you're about to post something that could be triggering to others; for example, something about abuse or self injury, then the warning give other posters a friendly headsup.
It's also OK to add a trigger warning after the fact, like posting a response to a triggerish post that says "trigger above" in the subject line.
I believe that it's a courtesy to others rather than a rule.
