You couldn't have at least mentioned DLB's demise and how you felt about it? Name calling, I'll plead guilty, but as far as bitching goes, you set the tone with the first post.

Why does a post mourning the passing of Dave's Long Box contain a spoiler AT ALL? PMasta explained it, and I've nothing to add. If you don't want to get it and are intent on bitching and name-calling - enjoy. Well, Ed, that is EXACTLY the point.

“If many of his posts were not often funny, observant or just plain interesting, I would have stopped reading his blogs ages ago, because his attitude to this really pisses me off.”

Exactly.

That being said, THE funniest blogger of all has just left the building. Thanks, Dave.

In any case, I'll miss DLB a great deal, at least he won't be deleting his archives (he won't, will he?), people who do that are scum.

Yes, there may be some people who for one reason or another haven't read a book yet that they plan to read. But at that point the responsibility for keeping spoilers unspoiled becomes entirely a personal responsibility, and if you truly think you can stay unspoiled at any portion of a comics website, well, let's hold back any snark and just say that maybe now you're more aware of how unlikely it is that you can stay unspoiled at any portion of a comics website.

Actually, I suggested that popular comics commentators not toss around spoilers on articles and posts that are not topically related to comic stories.

Thanks for the Darkseid spoiler. Hadn't quite got my hands on the latest issue of Countdown yet. It's great when I avoid every major news story about an issue or event, so as not to ruin anything, and then spoilers are lobbed at me from a completely unrelated topic. What the heck is the deal with that? It's incredibly lame. Wow. Thanks for the Darkseid spoiler. Hadn’t quite got my hands on the latest issue of Countdown yet.
