So you guys don't like us yet constantly feel the need to join the thread where you will be constantly told to leave? Why is that? Is there some need to be accepted?
Also to the above guy who said something about anti-literature. again stop being an idiot, many of the 'non-readers' read plenty of other things but prefer to take in this story in the form of the non-spoiled show.
It's really quite simple, even the smallest clarification or mispelling correction is unwanted in this particular thread.

This is a huge part of the problem

Most joke about the anti-literature or "smart-people" stuff.
Your threads are alreas derailed by someone jumping on a reader (who yes should not be there) then the reader leaving, then still having 4-5 more people replying to the reader, making it seem like a ton of readers were there, when it wasn't the case.
Like you responded to Amos like five pages after he left the thread the first time. Of course most people who post will always respond to a direct post.
And it happens a few times and gives the appearance of readers all in the thread.
Which happened today. You had Mizzou post and largely be ignored, then Amos posted, and posted again. The was called out five times over five pages.
Had he just been passed over the thread wouldn't derail. So yes, the readers do need to stay the frick out of your thread, BUT you guys need to not overly re-act to a reader posting. RA and be done with it. DO NOT RESPOND DIRECTLY.

There you go lumping all readers together again. I like the nonreaders just fine and I haven't posted in a nonreader thread the last two seasons. That's why I created the Middle Ground thread. It's a place where nonreaders who don't mind chatting with readers can go to ask questions without risking any major spoilers of future events.
Do I think readers would do best to stay out of the nonreader thread? Yes. Do I think a reader who makes a non spoiling comment in the nonreader thread should be banned? No.
You can't force anyone to stay out of the nonreader thread, though many of us do as a courtesy. There's always gonna be the occasional troll, but that's the cost of posting on a public Internet forum. Overreacting to the trolls will only encourage the next one to do something even bigger. Is that immature? Of course it is, but you can't eliminate it entirely. You can only try to mitigate the damage.
