I see your point. I think that is partly my fault, however, as I lifted just a sampling of the article.
I think there is a culture for making up spoilers. People do it to be assholes. IE - Howard Stern, around the time of Sixth Sense, made up a bunch of spoilers and put the real spoiler in there as well. People are dicks and they make things up to torque people. Heck, I know I've made up fake spoilers for the Dresden Files books that my family are currently devouring our way through. I do it to piss my sister off. Thankfully, she knows they're fake so she won't get mad at me. (We had this conversation awhile back about spoilers and she's definitely in the "spoilers spoil" camp.)
I have to admit to not seeing the Crying Game and, other than hearing about the andogynous dude that was also in Stargate, haven't really heard much about it so I can't say for sure on that one Got any for me? *winks*
But seriously - I see how spoilers have the ability to spoil, I just don't see how leaving LJ can stop the spoilers.
