I would rather have a mind opened by wonder than one closed by belief.
5|1|I think everybody has gotten your point now for sure Robin! |mindylou86|mindylou86@gmail.com|21:18:54|03/03/2010|
It really is not necessary to insult everyone's intelligence by saying, 'is it THAT hard to understand'. We all understand perfectly fine. It is NOT necessary to REPEATEDLY post 'don't put spoilers in the subject line'. We got your point the FIRST time. What you apparently do not understand is that this is not YOUR website and/or YOUR forum. Not everyone is going to 'fall in line' and post how and when you want. Not being mean, those are just the facts. 
I just suggested that when you see a post about a show you haven't watched, scroll past it (skip over it) or just avoid the General Section until you watch your show to save yourself the aggravation. Just want to give you a 'heads-up' for the next time someone (such as a newbie)'oops' and posts who 'won the bachelor' or some other 'live-or-die' information in the subject line.
and thanks to the other ladies for the concern about my panties!

It's not Robin that is acting like she owns the board.
And Robin let it go, maybe if you were not determined to have the last word...... 11|1|My point in speaking to RCW (in the other thread ) was to state that everybody does respect the time frame of the show. I cannot remember the last time a spoiler appeared during the|suezz|clearys@comcast.net|09:39:16|03/04/2010|
airing of the show....or anytime shortly after. So no, it is not a difficult pov to comprehend. The person who posted the name this time apparently did so in the excitment of talking about the show THE NEXT DAY. The news was all over the media by that time so if someone was able to avoid the information available in the world, then you should be able to circumvent it here also. I am pretty sure that this issue was not worth yet a second thread....but I guess the poster did get the sympathy she was looking for.....so all must be well.

12|1|I guess we all see it differently|pinchinpennies|pinchinmypennies@aol.com|11:52:39|03/04/2010|
I took this post to mean that she felt singled out, that she could not say anything, and yet those that were posting in the other thread felt they could say whatever they wanted and they were right. I don't think she was looking for anyone's sympathy.
And myself I saw it the same way. Certain people in that post were rude, and acting like they were "all that and then some", so were they looking for attention? :)
She did get jumped on for making a simple request, the others in that thread felt they were right and she was wrong. All she asked was a simple request, and heaven forbid that a little courtesy be to much to ask!! I like trading on this board and have met many nice people, but I for one do not mind saying that I have met some rude ones too, and it always seems to be the same ones that are "TO GOOD" and their opinion is the "only" one.
I am not saying the spoiler was posted intentionally to ruin the show for someone else, and I don't think that it was intentionally done to upset anyone. But it is always the same excuses, it's okay because you can skip the post, or it's all over the net anyway.
Now I don't remember exactly how it was said, but something to the effect that Robin can't expect everyone to fall inline to what she wants, or at least meaning that. So my question is:
Why do we pick and choose wich requests to consider?
Quite a long time ago, there was a personal issue put on general chat, with some of the subject lines being "gross" to some. At that point it was asked that "personal issue inside" be listed as the subject, or something similiar so others could choose if they wanted to know or not and nothing "gross" be posted in the subject of the following replies. and people have respected that.
Why did we fall inline and respect that request and so many others? Why is it always the same ones that think they control the board? Why is it always the same ones that are always right? Why is it if certain people state their OPINION they are looking for sympathy?
Now I am sorry that this post is so long, and I have complained some more, but it just seems to me it is always the same thing, supposedly we all have the right to our opinion, but if you get the right people agreeing on something, then "NO ONE" better disagree with them other wise they end up being the crap on the stick.........
There is a reason why I like my animals better than most people.... 13|1|Okay, I seem to have missed the original post about this.|qponsandy|qpons4trade@ameritech.net|17:02:35|03/04/2010|
But, I think out of common courtesy for people who can't watch the shows either when they are on or the next day or even within the week - sometimes I'm someone like that, the "spoiler" word should be put in the subject line and then the spoiler should be in the body of the message.
I am a member of several xbox 360 game forums and most - you might be able to find a post or a few posts but not that many (and prove me wrong) - people will put the "spoiler" word in the subject line and then the spoiler in the body of the message and if I haven't played that particular level I will skip over the post. I see that on some of the forums for the tv shows I watch too. It does give me the opportunity to skip the post if I want and not ruin it for me if I haven't watched it.
I know you can skip over the posts here but if they put the spoiler - not the word "spoiler" - in the subject line it is too hard to skip over without reading it.
I'm sorry I got in late to this discussion. Just my opinion.
