i couldn't care for spoilers... I like to read the whole plot of the movie before i go to a movie to see if i'd enjoy it... I read all the spoilers for HP7 and still read the book after because I enjoyed what I was reading... I don't really get how people get so annoyed by spoilers that they won't go and see a movie, finish reading a book, etc. if they hear a tiny spoiler. What about the rest of the book? There's so much more to a book then a character dying... sure you know that they died but you don't know how, by who, when, where, how the characters react, what the events were which led to this death, etc. Don't let a little thing stop you from reading a book which you had been enjoying.
Though I don't like it when others tell me a spoiler because I like to find out by myself what happens and don't want anyone telling me (as in a conversation with someone, not by reading it online...)
Also here's a question, if gossipgirl put those spoilers in white, would you have highlighted them and read what she posted? Who's fault would it have been then?
(This is just my opinion on this matter so please don't start a fight over what i just said...)
