Further in the same message: Apologies for the spoiler, I was so emerged into the harry potter books that I didn't realize I'm actually giving out a spoiler. end quote. That my friend is what is called a contradiction. If indeed you gave a spolier out as some type of revenge for a perceived slight on the part of the list members, that is a very uncool thing of you to do. Just because a handful of list members might have been less than nice with you on list, what about the other 150 or so members that would inadvertantly read that spoiler? And if I am not mistaken, from my reading of that thread, several members basically told you what the deal was, but you refused to take their suggestions as to what was going on there. yes, they did say to read the books, but they also answered your questions and you argued they were wrong, despite the fact they had read the books and at the time you hadn't. At any rate, if I had not already known the info about the Chamber of Secrets entrance and read you message without a spoler alert, I would be more than a little ticked off at you right now. Bottom line in my opinion: think before you post, and err on the side of caution.
