The fact that you don't see people asking anymore is because we now have a relatively-well-defined policy to deal with the issue.
If you really want to read an old but informational thread on the subject, you can check out the question I asked almost two years ago partially related to this, and the results of the poll. It's not a perfect cross-section of opinion, but it was an interesting discussion. |
Sorry if it did seem a little aggressive. Now that I look retrospectively at that statement it did seem a big over the top, and more focused on anger than rational thought on my part. I feel like a moron for saying such a thing... now everyone hates me... as for the policy I have simply decided not to post anything that may be potential spoiler material.
