and thats fine but what rule am i breaking that right now if i went into the non-reader thread where they are talking about sansa leaving with littlefinger and comment that at the point that offer was presented there was a plan for her to marry Loras and be sisters and besties with Margery (a purely show storyline). A simple statement and can clear something up but instead im ostracized to stay silent.

I think that the threads need to be labeled differently.

I have to read very carefully not to enter the smart people thread.


That's why I made sure to start the thread and be as clear arse possible, then RA the shite out of Blu's stupid thread.

From what I read, it appears this Antonio Moss guy was trying to help non-readers out today and inadvertently pointed/confirmed a spoiler. I see that as an honest mistake and also a good example of why its just best for everyone to stay in their separate corners.


that's an issue too.
He was more pointing out a person ahd knowledge that even the average book reader may not know, because he was pulling info from a WIKI.
Targaryen succession rules? I don't know them.

Its a message board. There's no way to fully eliminate jerks from pulling shenanigans in the non-reader thread but readers not posting in the non-reader threads will drastically reduces the chances of said shenanigans.

clear something up


Issue is, they do not want this at all.

Let's say (I'm making up names and houses and all no spoilers)

Yellow laughyface of house emoji is wed to Red Bangshead of house smilie. This leads to a union of emoticons. If some one posts they don't want you to say No, It's .

They would rather roll with

Honestly, I really do understand how bad this sucks. I don't post in TWD non-reader threads at all but I do lurk in them and there's many times that I see a chance for some good discussion but it's just not worth it in the end. Too many mistakes happen.

I'd rather non-reader/tv viewers have an unspoiled experience with the show.

And while I see that some of you don't have this problem, there are many readers that thrive on the attention they get by posting in the non-reader threads. That is very immature and reeks of a huge lack of confidence. Very sad.

Ok. That's just what I took from the few pages of this thread that I read.

I wasn't bashing you. You were an example of how even when a reader tries to do something nice it can backfire.

I posted this in the thread, but edited it since we don't need to know this is purely a TV thing. That alters the way we view it and make it seem either less important, or a difference that could have some major impact, or nothing at all.

I'm glad he isn't a fan of anything I like.

I would hate him even more if he were an Ohio State fan.
