Spoilers Options

Sooooo. Are spoilers worth getting upset over? Should people who put spoilers up (whether true or false) in a thread without first warning that they're spoilers to that book get in trouble? Should the decision to punish be decided on the book?

Discuss :)

Question: If I tell you guys or discuss with you that the main character of a book dies, without telling you that it's a spoiler, would that ruin the book for any of you?

Be back for this later... I'm heading to the bookstore... ironically, to pick up a book that I already know how it ends.

Yes, I don't understand your question either. Why would I discuss a book with someone if I don't know what happens? What productive or meaningful input would I give if I haven't read the book before? That's like going into an English class discussion about Shakespeare without never even reading any of his works.
I mean, I could make assumptions about the 7th Harry Potter book about whether he dies or not, but that's not really a spoiler, because it is simply a guess rather than stating what really happens.
