re: Game of Thrones Season 3 Episode 2: Dark Wings, Dark Words - NO SPOILERS thread

apparently so

I glanced at page 25 yesterday to see everyone bickering about who may or may not have posted a spoiler and was hoping that today at page 38 we may have gotten past that point but clearly I had false hopes. Thread has gone to shite.

This. Before I went to bed last night this thread had returned to good discussion of the show with everyone behaving themselves, then someone came in who had been reading earlier pages and the shitstorm resumed.

tl;dr warning

I haven't caught up to the thread past your post quite yet, but I hope things have calmed down and show discussion has resumed.

As for no book readers ever posting in this thread, yeah, that's never gonna happen. What does someone who has read some of the books but not all do, create their own thread? People were yelling at someone in this thread who had read the first two books but not beyond, not wanting him in this thread. Do you know how ridiculous that is? He has no idea what is coming up on the show, let him post away and speculate all he wants.

As for me, yes I have read all the books, no I have not posted spoilers to my knowledge (please correct me if I am wrong and I will apologize). I also steer clear of any speculation or discussion of what may or may not happen in the future. I will not answer even simple questions about the show or book in here, hence my creation of the questions thread. I will try to create that thread each week (except for the first couple weeks in May when I will be in Italy). Show watchers who have a question for book readers may go there to ask in a safe environment where, it is my hope, book readers will answer the question in simple terms without giving away too much info or foreshadowing future events. Book readers, if you are in this show only thread and someone asks a question of book readers, DO NOT ANSWER, instead refer them to the questions thread where you can give the answer if you wish.

I may still make a show related comment in this thread from time to time, but I hope nonreaders will feel safe seeing my name and know there will be no spoilers in my post. Examples of I post I might make are contained in this thread. Things such as saying how much I liked the comments Jaime made to Brienne. I will try to keep my comments, as safe as they may be, to a minimum so as not to draw untoward attention to myself.

If I see a comment by someone else in this thread that crosses into spoiler territory I will in the future refrain from responding to this comment, even in a joking manner, so as not to draw additional attention to said comment. I will also RA the offending post so it can be removed if the admin decides such action is warranted. I will post in the book readers thread to try to get the offending party to edit their post in here.

Nonreaders, please try to not jump to conclusions and assume something inappropriate is being posted if you see my or another known book readers name. I know some of you would prefer that none of us ever post in "your" thread, but that just isn't realistic on an open forum such as TD.

I will also, in the future, try not respond to these petty fights between the readers and nonreaders. Any response by me to an attack only derails the thread further and takes away from show discussion.

As I stated last night, with a little cooperation and consideration of others, we can all get along and enjoy discussing the show, I hope.

I told you, tl;dr
