Wait..Strombad got banned?
He was the only one talking any sense in there. The pathetic thing is no one bothered to listen to him.
He was trying to make the point that educated speculation will continue to happen whether they like it or not, but if someone points it out and yells spoiler, makes a deal out of it, instead of just ignoring it, every time a #### storm happens everybody back tracks to see what was said, and everybody ends up having something spoiled. If only people would've bothered to take his advice, far less would actually end up getting spoiled at all. You can't prevent the inevitable, but you can take intelligent measures to protect yourself. Just toss it in the "speculation that may or may not contain prior knowledge" bin, and move on. But people would rather see heads fly at every mention of anything suspicious, because they're moronic and oversensitive.
