Yeah, so we don't need to have it posted. It's not a problem for us, it's a problem for anyone who hasn't yet! If you read the thread, you'll see that there are other people who are just starting the series! Jerkface.
And besides, it didn't add anything to the thread, so you're ruining it for people for no good reason. Grr...It was rude and mean spirited

Well, if I was starting on book one (as another poster mentioned) and then someone posted that just to be spiteful, I would have been really mad. It's one of the biggest surprises in the book. I can't believe that you of all people don't think that it was a nasty thing to do

I'm not disagreeing with you about the spitefulness of the spoiler.
A thoughtful spoiler alert put's enough blank between his alert and the spoiler info so as to allow those he's alerting to the spoils a chance to not read it.
My comment was about I was being told I was taking this all too seriously when I took issue with you putting the first 1/2 of book 7 into a 2 minute montage, and now you are calling spoilers bad names. I at least refrained from callin you names, and stuck to the issue of how much there really was in the first 1/2 of book 7.
BTW, I think the other poster said their husband was just starting book one, and I think they themselves were well versed in the whole story.

MyFolsom also has a spoiler tag that can be used, unless you just want to be a douche.

I do believe I posted in red font "Spoiler Alert" which is a clear warning of what I was about to post, thus if you did not want to know the spoiler, then you didn't have to read.
Don't take it so seriously...

To SacKen:
I'm sorry I didn't know there was such thing as a "spoiler tag". I do not spend my life on this site and you do not need to call names. By the way, whoever first used the word "douche" as an insult? Grow up dude.

Yes, but you could have put enough "enter/return" so the alert and the actual spoiler weren't visible so close together. Just a suggestion for next time.
