Mm. Also your 'shut the hell up's and your calling me an idiot will probably get this thread written off as too flamish. Have to watch it with attacking the point of view, not the person. Aaaand "shut the hell up and acknowledge my point of view" is a really hypocritical stance to take.
I'm not trying to tell you your point of view is wrong, but I've been coming to seibertron for years and it's always had spoilers in the news. You've been here for a fair while too Meverix, you'd know that as indignant as you can act, the fact that you come to this site instead of others signifies that you support its practices. People who were actually upset by something a site did would just boycott it.
I'm just extremely pissed off about this. I mean EXTREMELY. I don't have a problem with you if you didn't start spreading the spoilers, and I wouldn't have a problem if you hadn't started suggesting that this other point of view had something to reconsider.
As for supporting it's practices, I don't. Not this time anyway. When the movie was coming out and spoilers were everywhere, I was on the side of the 'spoiled' because I wanted to follow the production process. It's only now that I'm on the other side that I've started seeing how bad it was for the people who didn't want things spoiled. Arguing that 'Seibertron's been doing it for ages' as an argument for it doesn't make it any less annoying for the rest of us, and is no reason for them to carry on doing so.
Is it really so hard to see the situation? Seibertron.com did something that pissed off a section of its users. The users have a completely valid reason to be annoyed, and there is a simple, easy way to fix the whole situation so that everybody is happy. Why isn't it happening?
I mean look at it: If all spoilers were kept to their threads and not broadcasted elsewhere, would the 'spoiled' be annoyed? Don't think so. And we'd be happy too. It's a win-win situation. Everybody's happy. You guys don't lose anything. At the moment, you guys (don't mean that in a 'YOU GUYS' kinda way), have it your way and we have no consideration whatsoever. That's the simple truth. We have views different from yours, and reasoning with us to change is just pointless. So instead, why can't we have a little attention so that things can be cool again?
I realise Seibertron's been doing this for a while, but like I said, I didn't know how bad it was until I started on the other side.
And I realise I sounded hypocritical, but that doesn't absolve the fact of the matter.
Incidentally, my 'shut the hell up's were aimed at your arguments, not your views. The idea is to just forgo all this bickering and get something done instead of just hurling insults and arguments which is just dull. I mean I feel like I've not been listened to by the other side in this thread. I've said things against certain arguments and people have totally ignored them by posting the same argument again. It's just irritating.
My attack wasn't personal, Flashback, and I'm sorry if it seemed so. I'm not justifying myself when I say this, but I'm just very, very pissed off.
