Can we squash reader/non reader animosity in GOT threads right now?

C'mon guys, we are two episodes in and we already have people getting banned, and lots of others getting all upset and pissy over spoilers/non spoilers/ information, ect....

To readers (of which I am one): We don't have to act as the police of the Hodor thread, not everybody who predicts a theory that is partially true is a reader in disguise trying to spoil it for everybody else. Sometimes they get stuff right. Also, pointing it out actually makes it worse most of the time, if you hadn't said anything, they wouldn't know it is a spoiler and nobody would be hurt. You going into the thread to call someone out makes it 10X worse.

To Hodors: Readers aren't the enemy, not everything we say is a spoiler, and we aren't out to ruin the show for you. There is no reason to freak out and get so defensive every time a reader even mentions the show. Trust us, nobody wants to spoil it for you, in fact half the reader thread is people bitching about things in the non reader thread they think are spoilers.


Moral of the story, can't we all just get along? Just everybody take a step back and relax a little bit.

Seems like you readers can't help yourselves. Hell even lady tiger had to delete one of her posts and she's one of the better ones

She did that on accident which is easy to do when you're going back and forth between threads.

No.

Readers, who stand for everything good, are locked in an eternal struggle with the non-readers over the fate of Game of Thrones threads

Won't it be glorious when the show passes the books and we can all be united as one?

We've been through this before, and honestly, the best policy is just to stick with your own kind.

Readers, stay OUT of the Hodor Thread.

Hodors...you know nothing.

Why are readers going into the non-reader thread?

How about readers just stay the frick out of our thread, and we all get along.

Simple as that.

Don't. fricking. Post. In. The. Hodor. Thread.

This is what I do. I don't even read the HODOR threads that much and I NEVER post in them since the antagonism started a year or two ago.

Then again, I can see both sides of the argument because I've read all the GoT books but in Walking Dead I am non reader.

I think that readers and those who have reader information just shouldn't post in non reader threads. Of course you will always have a couple of people that intentionally try to ruin things but for all the good faith readers we should let them have their thread.
