Perfect example of people discrediting their own fandom

[pez]

There's just this one thing I don't understand. I'm under the impression that HP fans will spend the weekend (or the next few days) reading their new book? Is it really that hard to stay away from LJ for a few days, instead of every single one of you saying SPOILMEANDDIEBIATCH? I mean, if it's something really important, surely your friends would know some way other than LJ of communicating the news to you. Or is it that hard to make a filter with all the non-HP fans you know and read that one for the next few days?

I'm probably staying away from my own flist for a few days, until I can stop reading things like OMGI'VEBEENSPOILED or SHUDDUPIDON'TWANNAKNOW or OMGTHISGUYDIDTHISANDTHATAND- I mean, it's good to get excited over a novel, but this is bordering stupidity.

Maybe I've just indirectly called 90% of my flist stupid, but that's what I'm thinking.

There are two conflicting instincts : the one to share what you've just read with whoever has stayed long enough to listen, and the one not to look at what other people have just read.

Well, I'm done with it, so I'm safe. ^^
