84. So let me just get this fully into my mind

Are you seriously telling me that you can't see why sporting events shouldn't be spoilered on DU because there isn't an extant procedure for other events otherwise unrelated to the Olympics other than that they have an ending that could be spoiled? And that the absence of such a clear "nonspoiler" culture on DU means that requests for such courtesy don't make sense?

Is that in fact what you are saying to me? Would you requrie clear unambiguous signposts all over DU telling you not to spoil the end of "The Dark Knight Rises"? Or would you just go with the idea that it shoudln't be spoiled without being told? If you would go with that, why would it not "make sense" to respond cooperatively to people requesting that a similar courtesy be extended to DU participants for events of interest to them like the Olympics?
