In case you didn't know this...

[stoney321]

PEOPLE DON'T LIKE TO BE SPOILED FOR THINGS. Not TV shows, surprise birthday parties, movies, how the book ends, marriage. (lol) But seriously. From this point on I will ban people from comments if you put a spoiler for something in my journal., without due warning in a header (or if the post doesn't warn about spoilers FOR THAT PARTICULAR TOPIC.)

I even SAID in my post linked up top that I haven't seen a particular something, and that's just how the comment led off, "Oh you haven't? Here's what you'll see!" WTF. If I've made a cut for spoilers, that is your clue to go crazy nuts ON THAT ONE TOPIC. Don't come in and reveal the identity of Kaiser Soze when we're talking about the latest Wiggles episode.

All I'm saying is that there are a few people that I do not know from Adam that need to dial it down a bit and think before they post. I don't care that it was a silly reality show. I don't care if it was the newest Nike commercial that I'm wanting to see: DON'T SPOIL PEOPLE. In case it's not obvious, that really pissed me off. Not to mention that my inbox was filled with random comments from four or five other posts, too, some posts going back a year or more. (That happens ALL THE TIME. Guys, I just don't have the energy to go back, re-read old comments and posts in order to remember the context, any random off-shoots that post caused, etc. just to give YOU a satisfactory answer, Internet Stranger.)

ONE COMMENT ON ONE POST. ONE. Say your piece there. Make sure it's spoiler free. Make sure you're not breaking any of THESE IMPORTANT RULES THAT ARE ALWAYS LINKED AT THE TOP OF MY JOURNAL. I'm not going to try and gently help people figure out the internet/LJ any more. I get too many comments/random folks in here to help them figure things out. We should all know how to use Google at this point. Sorry. I'm not your mama.

But tell ya mama I axed how she durrin. And act like you know. (And I'm now going to research the option to close commentary on old posts. That seems like a simple solution to me.)

Yes I did just wake up. This isn't how I prefer to start my mornings, either.

[ETA] And it should go without saying that my LJ isn't for everyone, and there are no hard feelings for bugging out. Which a handful of you have already done. I applaud your sensibilities, even if I don't share them. Sail on into this good night, Cap'n! *salutes*

Comments

Wow, people can be soooo annoying.

Watch out with the standard "disabling comments", because iirc that can hide? or erase? all the existing comments.

(Oh, and I totally plan to read-and-comment-on a couple-day-old post of yours as soon as I get a chance to watch Big Love! We don't have HBO anymore, and I teach ESL on Mondays, so I'm probably going to be watching it on Tuesday for the foreseeable future.)

[marenfic.livejournal.com]

Two days, baby.

[turnonmyheels.livejournal.com]

top of the morning to you!

GAH people are such assholes.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Bah, that's what I thought re: disabling comments. There's not a way to shut that down without blocking them all, huh? Poop.

(You can totally do that with me re:Big Love because we are tight like 10 toes in a sock. But someone I don't know that feels compelled to leave 3 or 4 comments on a 2 year old post, to other people in threads, to me... I never know which they're expecting. Once I replied to a comment in a thread and the person told me they weren't asking ME, they were asking someone else in the thread. ON MY LJ. Which meant I was supposed to check and read all comments FIRST before replying in my own LJ to a 2 year old post. THE FUCK?)

How do you always have such appropriate icons?

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

OH MY GOD I CANNOT WAIT. Tell me when I can call you today to make our pick up plans, WHEEEEEE!!!!!

<3 <3 <3

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

LOL, THANK YOU, PINK.

I expect an email today, Missy. I'm about to go for my run and do abs - you're gonna love to hate the abs. :D

[crazydiamondsue.livejournal.com]

Remember back in the BtVS days, that one chick that would comment to EVERY. SINGLE. COMMENT. you or Jess or I received on our posts? Since your LJ went public (heh) I can imagine that it's increased.

Nice Kaiser Soze/Wiggles contrast, btw. What's looking good for you today? Garden? Shopping? Knife fight?

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Dude, Twilight ruined my LJ, I'm just saying.

Knife fight! Come on, Sue, that's a given. Oh, and some gardening because it's going to get up to 50!! I can't take these single digits for long, BRRRRRRRR. (I got loads of garden clean up in yesterday, too. HOORAY.)

I have been waiting forever to use this

[marenfic.livejournal.com]

I get out of class at noon.

(I LOVE that icon- hahahahaha!)

Re: I have been waiting forever to use this

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

WHEEE!! i'll call you shortly after that, then.

OH MY GOD THE FOODS WE WILL EAT. THE GAMES WE WILL PLAY! (I got the Beatles Rock band!)

[harmonyfb.livejournal.com]

Who the hell does that? ::glares at them:: Why would you want to ruin it for someone else?

[nwhepcat.livejournal.com]

Speaking of Big Love, I &heart; you so hard.

Re: Spoilers

[nwhepcat.livejournal.com]

You think maybe these people are lost in the Old Days of TV, when missing a show meant you might never get to see it and needed a recap? Jeez, that's been a decade or more....

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

That would stop you from commenting, and a good 75% of the people who do comment here. I have a very small flist. I just need to find a solution to manage older posts, somehow.

I'm sure there's an app for that, somewhere.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

I cannot WAIT for this season to get rolling. Last season was excellent.

Re: Spoilers

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

I don't think they were trying to ruin it for me, I think they're just the kind of people who don't think before they speak. I think there are a LOT of folks like that around here.

Re: Spoilers

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

LOL, good point! But I don't know if that applies in this case. But that would explain some other behavior I've seen over the years...

[copykween.livejournal.com]

Grr! That kind of shit makes me want to VAPORIZE a bitch! It's called COMMON SENSE, PPL!

However, this nearly made me decorate my monitor with Diet Coke:

Don't come in and reveal the identity of Kaiser Soze when we're talking about the latest Wiggles episode.

[entrenous88.livejournal.com]

What the -- I think sometimes people imagine you'll thank them for being all sassy and fun, not realizing ruining what's going to happen, NOT SO SASSY, AND NEITHER IS IT FUN.

[minstrel666.livejournal.com]

I actually never did mind spoilers. I can always enjoy a movie with or without knowing the ending or the big twist. It has a little to do with me always appreciating stories as a total, not a continuum, and a lot to do with the fact that the CIA cut out a little piece of my brain and put a little bag of sand where it was.

Also, sorry for bombarding yesterday's topic with Catholicism. I was on a roll.

[entrenous88.livejournal.com]

Oh dear god.

MEEEEMMMMRIIIIIIEEESSSS! Like the corners of my MIIIIIIIIND! So many moments of WTFevery with that.

♥ Sue ♥

*smooches*

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

You know what? I think you're on to something. I should put an ETA of "YOU ARE NEITHER SASSY NOR FUN, DON'T DISCUSS" [/Linda Richman] up there.

YOUR BRAINS ARE LOVELY.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Ahahaha. I mean, hey. We all do dumb things. But COME ON. You have a chance online to NOT by taking a minute to re-read your comment BEFORE YOU HIT POST.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

I'm glad that spoilers don't bug you - that must keep you from ever being frustrated. I, however, HAAAAATE being spoiled. Hate.

Did Indiana Jones swap out the brains for sand? because that would be cool. hee.

Oh, and I don't mind that - having a conversation in a post with someone is totally cool. Going back a year or two on a post and demanding answers to something in a thread of three people that's 12 comments deep where I have no idea what the answer is unless I go back and re-read everything... That's the stuff that drives me bonkers. There's only so much time in the day I can devote to LJ, you know?
