NOT TO START THE DEBATE AGAIN: Just as a point of reference

Posted by TWuG Dec 17 '08, 15:15

I asked my wife to weigh in on spoilers without telling her where I stand.

You think *I* draw lines to soon, *she'd* give you a week to see a film then you'd be SOL. :-P

since people have wildly different opinions, why not err on the side of polite? -- nm - loosilu Dec 17, 15:25
I'm pretty straightforward on this topic. Saying "spoiler" and putting what you want to say in the IM takes an additional 2 seconds. -- nm - David Dec 17, 15:22 13
- How this isn't common sense always baffles me. nm - Dignan Dec 17, 15:31 11
  - And it always leads to those aggravating "Rosebud was a sled" posts. -- nm - David Dec 17, 15:46 2
    - Aw, come on man! Spoilers!! - con_carne Dec 17, 15:53 1
      - DB is right. It's the worst meme this group has...and I include the cheerleaders in that. -- nm - David Dec 17, 15:59

    - Oh, you can *always* expect a board or two of "the boat sank!!" obnoxiousness. nm - Dignan Dec 17, 15:38 4
      - It was sincere. BTW, thank for spoiling Das Boot. :-P -- nm - TWuG Dec 17, 15:41 3
        
        I think you're thinking of Poseidon. -- nm - Eight Tiny Vermin Dec 17, 15:46 2
        
        No one appreciates my humor... :-( -- nm - TWuG Dec 17, 15:49 1
        
        I very nearly posted "Thanks a lot! I was going to watch Das Boot this weekend and now you've ruined it!" but thought it might be too much -- nm - Roger More Dec 17, 15:57
    - Different understanding of what amounts to fun. If I had been going for mean I would've spoiled more of Chuck. - TWuG Dec 17, 15:37
- Understand that this is where I fall, too, but think there's a point where the right to complain ends if someone doesn't do that. - TWuG Dec 17, 15:26
