I'm still trying to understand how any of this is me being selfish. I'm the biggest complainer about spoilers and have even called you out before for posting leaked set pictures before.

Confirmation that it's a spoiler = a guarantee that staff takes action. Letting it linger on the thread = more and more people being spoiled, but at least *you* didn't know it was a legit spoiler. I'm trying to think of other people, you're only thinking about yourself.
What was posted previously is not good. I agree. I'm not defending it.
But based off the trailer. Stuff on Ferrix blows up. One episode left so it happens next week. Something happens. The spoiler got into the details. I'm just saying if you saw the official trailer, then you knew there are explosions on Ferrix. That's all.
You have posted numerous posts saying what trailer shots we've seen/not seen.
Ranger fans you're not dreaming! The Rangers are the World Series Champions!

Thanks for acting so quickly, staff.

You're making a pretty big logical leap. I called BOTH of them out. And please point out where I said it should linger on the thread.
If we didn't confirm it was a spoiler, but like two people flagged it as trolling or whatever, staff very likely wasn't going to remove it. Thus, letting it linger.
I just think it's incredibly ironic that you of all people are calling me selfish for not wanting spoilers on a thread.
Your logic here is really something.

I don't even get what you two are fighting about now?
We can only hope that Aggie_Journalist has been exiled to Narkina 5, with no mercy and eternal shifts.
I'm still fuming over this.
What a d*ck.

My logic is perfectly sound.

I called out the poster who posted the "theory", and the guy who confirmed it as a spoiler.
TC took offense and called me selfish for not wanting people to confirm spoilers.
That's pretty much the extent of it.
See everyone next wednesday
Except that confirming it as a spoiler, in this case, saves the vast majority of readers of this thread from ever being spoiled, seeing as that confirmation is what led to staff deleting it. Wheres your strategy would have ironically led to the post likely remaining in the thread, and thus far more people reading it/being spoiled.

"My strategy" is no spoilers at all, and always has been.
We've had many an argument about what constitutes spoilers, and you've defended the use of leaked set pictures before. This is the irony in all this.
Goes to work… normal discussion count…. Long day at office. Come home, open Texags 50 replies… wth…
Nope I'm out.

Aggie_Journalist *literally* posted a detailed spoiler breakdown of the finale of the best show of the year. Six days before it airs. And passed it off as a "prediction." The action I took, by taking a peek at reddit myself, to confirm whether his post contained legit information or not, and then confirming here that his post was, in fact, a massive spoiler, is what directly led to his post being deleted. In other words, I thought it better to potentially sacrifice my own eventual enjoyment of the finale so that others wouldn't have to read what Aggie_Journalist wrote and be spoiled too. I'm not the bad guy here, and I'm not at all in the wrong. While your strategy, again, would have likely led to the spoilers remaining in the thread, for who knows how long, and far more people being spoiled for the finale. I truly don't understand how you or anyone else could argue with a single word of what I'm saying.
Dude, I didn't even call YOU out. You're the one who decided to call me out as selfish, and I defended myself.
I'm beyond confused why you're suddenly turning this into a crusade against me as a selfish ******* who doesn't care that people get spoiled, and you're some martyr. It's ridiculous. It wasn't even about you to begin with.

BECAUSE WHAT YOU WANTED US TO DO WOULD HAVE LED TO SPOILERS REMAINING IN THE THREAD.
I don't know how else I can possibly say that.

You're literally saying you're not the bad guy here. Who said you were? Why are you acting like I called you out?

Are you kidding me???
I just took a peak at reddit, and at least one major part of Aggie_Journalist's post is, in fact, real, with a screenshot to prove it. Everyone please flag the hell out of his post so staff removes it, and hopefully bans him. Because I can't image how he "predicted" that without reading reddit.
Oh goodness, um, to be clear, what I wrote was 100% guess and conjecture. I haven't been on Reddit. No idea what's on there that's being referred to. I think it's a fun game to try to guess what's coming when I watch shows and do that in the threads of everything I watch. You'll can see me whiffing on some guesses earlier in this thread.
Usually I'm wrong, sometimes I'm right. There was a GoT thread where I guessed a certain character would have their hand cut off because it would lead to the most compelling character development, and that ended up being correct. But usually I'm wrong or just partly right.
So. Anyone who read my post. I promise I have zero insight and it could be totally wrong. I was purely putting on my writer hat and speculating where the story might go. It was not a spoiler.
Thanks and gig'em
I can't believe you either don't understand or refuse to admit my broader argument here. Take me out of the equation for a second. Your strategy would have led to the spoilers still being in the thread, and that's what I have a problem with. Beyond that, my solution got rid of the spoilers, yours wouldn't have. That's all I'm trying to say.
IDK man, maybe stop doing that.
The irony is that while I love to guess where a story will go, I'm the most anti spoiler person my friends know. I hate spoilers. Don't look for them. Will walk out of a room when folks discuss where a show or book I'm reading will go so I can enjoy it with fresh eyes.
Really sorry that my honest to goodness prediction caused this ruckus! It was not my intent. I hope my guess didn't lead to anything actually getting spoiled by how others reacted to it.

On one hand, I've never had any issues with you in the past, and you've always seemed pretty nice/level headed. But then, today, you just so happen to get multiple things not only right, but spot on, just one day after said info was posted on reddit, with a screenshot from the final episode to prove the leaked info is real. I'm just saying, it's really hard to believe that's a coincidence, but I also don't want to unfairly malign you. So, yeah, I don't know what to think...

If we want to make it a rule of the forum that nobody is allowed to speculate what might happen in any show on the off chance that they'll be right, we can do that. But I'm hardly the only person who has made a guess at where a show is going to go.
Maybe we all just have a bit of trust in each other that when someone posts a "guess" or a "prediction," that's what it is. Nothing more. And if you've seen actual spoilers confirming that guess, keep it to yourself?
Thanks and gig'em
Let me say it another way. Did AJ's post alone send you to reddit, or the way Porkchop responded to it, essentially confirming it as a leak?
THAT is my only point. If not for the subsequent post, we'd be none the wiser and with any luck it would quietly disappear before anyone knew anything.
I had no issue with your subsequent post, nor did I ever call you out. Suddenly you started saying "we" as if you were part of the group I called out, when you weren't.
You're clearly super upset about this, but don't make ME out to be the bad guy here. I never did that to you.

Happy to chat with you or anyone else to apologize for the ruckus. It was a sincere guess. Did not mean to cause a commotion. I'm sincerely sorry about it.
Thanks and gig'em
I don't think we should ban speculation. That's half of what this board is, and 99.9% of the time it's fun/innocuous. If you really didn't know any spoilers, and happen to hit a bullseye, a day after said bullseye was posted on Twitter, this is likely only ever going to happen every decade or so, given the astronomical odds.
Get a room dorks. Way to ruin an awesome show. Go post about Elon Musk on Twitter or something more productive than this.

I hear you. I'm no judge and jury, but you seem sincere, and like this really was a fluke. Sorry for anything bad I said in response.
(Though, for the record, I'm still glad the post was removed.)

Hey would you look at that? It's like we're on the same page.
Listen, I have no idea what to believe at this point, but if it ends up being TC who spoiled this for everyone, how's that for irony?
And I mean actual irony, not the rain on a wedding day kind of irony.
I'm guessing this show ends with someone blowing up a giant laser sphere like it's a womp rat on Tatooine. Then some jerking off in a swamp and daddy problems.

The information would have been in everyone's heads, via this thread, whether legit speculation or legit spoiler. Again, either way, I'm still glad it's no longer in the thread.
