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 :)

Even after all of that, its still just a book
If someone were to ruin the book for you in person(IE, see you with the book and ruin the ending for you) what would you do? Attempt to punish them? Call the police?

I read the spoilers and still read the HP book, and I felt that I still thoroughly enjoyed the book.

Getting so upset over something is childish.

yea but i feel posting spoilers with the intention to upset people is more childish

and some of the spoilers( ie. the ones that weren't labeled) were there for no reason but to spoil it for people.
