I'm only responding to people who are speaking to me first. I deserve a right of reply. More to the point, I'm yet to be given a proper explanation for why I should use spoiler tags when discussing old shows. "Just use spoilers" isn't a reason. Until it's actually put in front of me that it's a thread rule that discussions about old TV shows have to be put behind spoiler tags then I'll continue to discuss them openly. Until then youse can all stop whining at me and let it go. I'm not the one whining and complaining, I'm simply explaining my position to the numerous people who seem to have got their back up over fuck all.

It isn't a thread rule it's a courtesy to fellow posters... Something you seen to lack judging by your me me me attitudeI'm only responding to people who are speaking to me first.

Funny that you're accusing me of having a "me me me" attitude when half a dozen posters have done nothing but complain about how a single post I made about the ending of The Sopranos (which was several days ago and several fucking pages ago now) has apparently affected the rest of their TV-watching lives.It isn't a thread rule it's a courtesy to fellow posters...

I made my post and moved on with my life. Everybody else involved in this little argument has turned it into a bigger issue. Like I said in my previous post, just let it go. Put me on ignore for all I care. I accept it's common courtesy to spoiler chats about TV shows currently ongoing or recently ended but The Sopranos was yonks ago and it's not my fault if people haven't caught up.
(And, as I've already said, but just for clarification, if anyone wants to chat freely about The Wire or The Americans or any other drama from years ago that's been done for more than a decade but I've not watched yet, go ahead.)

So you accept that it's a common courtesy but you then say you're just gonna do it anyway.Put me on ignore for all I care.

You should be barred from this thread
Nope. Read it again. I said it's common courtesy to spoiler shows that are currently ongoing or recently ended. Please don't jump angrily into a debate if you've not read everything that's been said. I'm not objecting to being told to use spoiler tags wholesale, I'm objecting to being told to use spoiler tags when discussing shows that ended 16 years ago and premiered in the previous century. Like I've asked already, where do we draw the line? Richard Hillman in Corrie? Who shot Mr. Burns? Ross and Rachel? Who shot JR? Romeo and Juliet?So you accept that it's a common courtesy but you then say you're just gonna do it anyway.

On the previous page you've got someone openly discussing that Daryl (?) survives The Walking Dead. @Roger Mellie So I expect you'll come down on them any moment now.
It's a bit difficult to avoid that spoiler, as he has his own spin off sequel.On the previous page you've got someone openly discussing that Daryl (?) survives The Walking Dead. @Roger Mellie So I expect you'll come down on them any moment now.

OK I've never to my.knowledge been in this thread so have come here with an open mind. There have been a few complaints made so I've looked at the last few pages or so and come to this conclusion.On the previous page you've got someone openly discussing that Daryl (?) survives The Walking Dead. @Roger Mellie So I expect you'll come down on them any moment now.
Please use a spoiler alert in all discussions. Just because a series is old doesnt.mean everyone has watched it.
It's a simple thing to follow that keeps peace and harmony in the thread.
Can you do that from now on?

LOL!
Welcome to the real BM! In general, there are BM gangs to be wary of!
But, as a rule, just speak in general terms without disclosure.
You can still get your sentiments across.
It's a bit difficult to avoid the end of The Sopranos considering it's one of the mostly widely discussed, parodied, and studied endings in the entire history of the televisual medium. I keep asking, where are we supposed to draw the line?It's a bit difficult to avoid that spoiler, as he has his own spin off sequel.
While we're at it, let's petition to have this episode of Family Guy cut from all future broadcasts lest future generations have The Sopranos final scene spoiled for them by this joke.
Shit sorry have I spoiled Family Guy for people now.
