I'm only going to speak in animated gifs in this thread. ;)

Hell yeah.

MattKeil:

Alternately, since the book Game of Thrones is based on is fifteen years old, it could be argued that anyone who really cared that much should have already read it by now.

Fair enough.

So, do we get some sort of regularly updated sticky headline saying when we can actually post anything related to any TV show? I was going to follow up the last True Blood gif with another thing related to Eric, but the show only aired like 2 weeks ago, so presumably it’s a spoiler to someone.

A month in TV time for spoilers is like 20 years in movie time. Hell, I can hardly look at Google News headlines without being spoiled.

Already fucking done. Good grief. Any chance that will be enough of a gesture to keep this thread from getting derailed into a spoiler debate?

I dunno, I’ve not jumped in yet. ;)

John Many Jars:

Maybe jerri and Tom should delete the gif.

Maybe you should have called them Tom and jerri because that would have been funnier.

Probably not, since you also found it necessary to name the character in your supposed apology post. But what are you mad at me for? I didn’t report you to Tom.

I thought of that later. ;P

Wow, spoilerphobia must be the worst mental condition to endure. One slip by someone that reveals something about anything that you didn’t already know can turn you into a blithering idiot.

She posted a gif, got flamed, apologized. It was really no big deal. I haven’t seen Captain America yet and I’m really looking forward to it, if anyone wants to spoiler it up for me send me a PM and tell me everything that happens, I’ll read it and reply without going batshit insane over knowing something that I didn’t see myself before I was ready to see it.

OMG I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU CALLED TOM A BLITHERING IDIOT

I’m not sure who the blithering idiot is supposed to be, but it seems to me the discussion has been entirely reasonable. We’ve had a question of how much of a spoiler it is anyway, an apology, and a voluntarily deleted post. There was even an awesome otter gif somewhere in there. Other than JMJ blowing things out of proportion and tapdancing on the reported button (psst, dude, ease up or just send me a PM if you want to try to be hilarious), this has been the very picture of a politely resolved situation.

P.S. Here’s another otter gif:

TimElhajj · 2011-07-25T23:32:03.000Z

Are those otters holding hands?

Not that it matters to me per se, but countzero back on page 99 quoted the spoilerish gif in question and it’s still there. For what it’s worth.

I wish I had an animated gif to add to the contribution, but I do not. :)

Dean · 2011-07-26T09:14:39.000Z

Here’s one for BleedtheFreak.

(Psst! No dogs were actually shot in this gif.)

Scotch_Lufkin · 2011-07-26T09:17:18.000Z

LMAO - nice! Smart dog.

Indeed they are.
