Spoilers Options

[*Steven*]

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 :)

May I please make the request that this not turn into another thread dedicated to the whole James debacle? I know it's relevant, but there is already a venue for that particular topic.

Next, to make my point clear: when you discuss possible endings or when you discuss a book/tv show (whichever book you think) you take a chance at having things spoiled for you anyway. Not knowing if your discussion comes true or not isn't the matter, the fact that you people try to figure out what happens next is the same as wanting to know what happens next. You guys unconsciously fish for spoilers anyway and then lie yourselves about not wanting to know.

Sorry, but no. I genuinely wanted to be surprised by the polt/ending, even if I did speculate on it. You can psychoanalyse that if you like, or project a logical extrapolation, but I think I'm the best judge of what I 'wanted' from discussing a possible plot, as is every other individual, thank you very much.

And as far as 'are spoilers wrong' in the more general sense goes, I think that it is puerile and spiteful to intentionally try to upset people by ruining things, be it a book, or a TV show, or whatever. But then, it isnt exactly genocide. So, no it isn't very nice. But some people are just pricks. You live.
