We're sorry, *bows down and kisses your feet* But in our defense, teh title says: FMA disuccsion: Contains spoilers!!! Yes, its a warning that it contains spoilers not WHAT and WHERE teh spoilers are so that people can avoid then if they wish to get in on teh discussion with out spoiling teh show for themselves, especially on something so major as that. I JUST added teh spoiler warning on April 24th after a complaint.

OK, Im more than a little irate now. I missed teh last two episodes and since checking on this thread.....have no need to watch now!!! Mark your spoilers!!!!!I went back and marked them for you, but I shouldnt have had to do that. Consider this teh first warning to you all who were so rude as not to do so. *is extremley sheepish* Sorry. But, like everyone else said, it does say there are spoilers in teh title. We'll try to be more careful from now on...

I see no reason to mark spoilers when they're already marked, i.e. in teh title over every post.

Sorry... I'll admit... I's guilty of that... I thought with teh "Contains Spoilers" in teh title of teh thread it would be kind of a given there'd be spoilers... I'll go mark them now... though its kinda late. But better late than never. *puts on Dunce cap and sits in corner on a three legged stool.* edit... well... I see you already "magical edit"ed them for me... I just assume that to begin with since on [as] teh official spoiler rule is that if there is a spoiler warning in teh title itself you don't hafta mark them in teh posts.

I JUST added teh spoiler warning on April 24th after a complaint. I thought it just meant... there are spoilers, and spoilers are there, and only to read teh thread itself if teh concept of spoilers on a thing you haven't seen all of doesn't scare you away. Or, just, generally, there are spoilers. In fact, if we marked them in individual posts, it would still just end up saying "Spoilers" generally. Plus, we put that in teh title because otherwise we'd hafta be saying "Spoilers" in EVERY POST.

I actually still will probably end up not marking them, because when a "guideline" is senseless and stupid I tend to not think about it when I'm casually posting.

I JUST added teh spoiler warning on April 24th after a complaint. I DO try to be careful about **SPOILERS**, but this is ONE time I feel that we WEREN'T doing anything OBVIOUSLY WRONG--If I read a thread that is clearly marked with a **SPOILERS WARNING** at teh beginning, then I would just ASSUME THAT I'm going to RUN INTO INFO THAT WILL SPOIL THINGS FOR ME! I WILL be even MORE cautious about this in teh future, but if one DOESN'T want things spoiled for them, but they DO wanna discuss a subject, then perhaps they should create a **SPOILER FREE** thread on that subject for those who DON'T wanna take teh risk.....Is that a viable idea? And watch those episodes ANYWAY--there's LOTS of details we DIDN'T MENTION in our previous discussion that you STILL might enjoy.

Which reminds me, I was planning for months to when I got my DVDs back put transcriptions of all teh Trigun episodes on my website, wasn't I?

That's what I meant, more or less--even in a verbatim transcript, with descriptions--there are things that can be missed, such as an expression, and emphasis on a word, a nuance of meaning--it's ONE reason even eye-witnesses to a crime can be subjective, like in that movie, "Rashoman"

There's this entire psychological... thing behind it, but I'd end up in a babbling mess if I tried to go into it.

We're sorry, *bows down and kisses your feet* But in our defense, teh title says: FMA disuccsion: Contains spoilers!!! it does not matter. there are clear rules about posting spoilers. they are as follows: Post a clear and visible spoilers warning. Use all caps and center your text, write spoilers across teh line, use big and/or colored text, etc... Skip twenty lines. <~~ that is a really important one. Write your heart out. Skip twenty lines. Repeat teh spoilers warning again. That way nobody reading in teh most recent posts will be surprised, and nobody reading teh thread will either. this is not specifically directed at you chibi, but i've seen some of you acting rather smug and whiny because you messed up and kenna called you on it. they are simple rules and are just common courtesy. i don't care if it says possible spoilers in teh subject heading or thread title, you must follow teh spoiler format. that is all. carry on.

Anyway, one should assume that when a thread has 'spoilers' in teh title and some one starts talking about teh latest ep. which you haven't seen, YOU ARE GONNA SEE SPOILERS!
