If a Belgian suddenly wins the gold medal in the 100 meter, I'm going toSpoilering sporting events should go under Rule #1.
Sorry confused this place with another forum. That its first rule was, don't be a dick.
No, I'm not. I'm trying to have a serious conversation about this, and I'm getting pretty friggin' tired of SPS's only response being "you're a dick. A dick. You're all dicks. Dick."Bubble1, are you suggesting that everyone be like you and simply flip the switch that says, "bothered by spoilers" to off?
Its great that you don't mind so much, but is it reasonable to tell everyone that your attitude is right and theirs is wrong?
She should not have walked into that bar with that dress on...I'll totally blame victims regarding spoilers if they go into a thread about the topic and then get mad that somebody spoiled whatever it was the topic was about. It's not like you're reading a thread about somebody's breakfast and then somebody randomly drops a spoiler for the newest batman film.

Whoa now. I'd just like to point out that the 3 vs 4 thing totally isn't a thing. Olympics aside, I'm totally in favour of spirit of the law over letter of the law. However, I'm also in favour of, if you find the two of them don't match up, of trying to change the letter to be closer to the spirit. Which is all I wanted to do.Wow, you all are really going at it aren't you?
So, to recap:
1. There are those who feel Olympic results are spoilers.
2. There are those who think they are not spoilers.
3. There are those who believe that a literal, narrow interpretation of the rules is appropriate.
4. There are those that believe that a "spirit of the law" interpretation of the rules is appropriate.
5. There are those who feel that in order to debate the above four items, name calling and other bad behavior is appropriate.
Take a step back, take a deep breath, and ignore inappropriate posts - that's the best way to make them go away. This no need to respond to someone who can't get their point across without attemtpting to insult or offend others.
I did not.holy shit don't compare finding out who won a volleyball match to someone getting raped
Is there a point you're trying to prove with this, or are you just trolling people?I did not.
Just stating that I did not equate this with rape. I left others to draw their own conclusions.Is there a point you're trying to prove with this, or are you just trolling people?
So you're trolling people.Just stating that I did not equate this with rape. I left others to draw their own conclusions.
I did go back and spoiler the controversial ending to my sentence. And that was the point made.So you're trolling people.
I hate the phrase, but no one's completely in the right here: if there's been no spoilers going on till now in a thread, it's reasonable to not expect them. Once there have been, you can't get so angry you got spoiled a second time, because that's already going on isn't it?Take a step back, take a deep breath, and ignore inappropriate posts
