Dabo, I applaud your efforts. You put yourself in the middle of a conflict in which I played a part and are doing a great job reuniting us. That is a tough job.OFG, I totally agree with you and I also applaud your "To each his own" from a similar thread in Fanatics. It should be that way...except it only works in theory.
In practice? Do you realize I was spoiled inside THIS thread? I thought it was safe to enter but now I know something I didn't really want to know. I don't want to spoil anyone else so I'll use hidden text. Scroll over if you want to see what I mean;
I know now that Marty will win immunity next week because Kiki wrote: "I didn't think about the fact that I was giving up sourced spoiler info -- I was just trying to show that person X had to win IC at F11 if the sourced spoilers were true."
Who else but Marty HAS to win IC? No worry Kiki, it isn't a big deal, just an example of how wicked a spoiled information can be.
Yes, I could go to Survivorfever or survivorphoenix for the vidcaps but I'd only see the caps and miss the discussions. How often have juicy details been discovered by an accumulation of individual observations. I couldn't do that on my own and I do like to have an idea of what will hapen. Not be told what IS.
I hate censorship but it doesn't have to be seen that way. If you want it to be "to each his own" then all that is needed is respect. By that I mean asking what is the subject of the thread.
For an example in vidcaps, suppose we are trying to figure out which tribe wins immunity and a poster writes: "Judging from this vidcap Team Blue has a nice lead and here you see two Blue peeps smiling so Team Blue must win immunity."
Now, imagine this as reply: "Missyae says Team Blue goes to TC so Team Yellow must win IC." I'd ask how is that vidcap analysis? The second poster didn't respect the intent of the thread. If he knows, good for him. To each his own would be to give the others a chance to figure it out or even to be wrong. Making a wrong prediction isn't a disease that needs to be cured.
You have replied to some of my editing analysis posts but I can't let myself read them. No matter how hard you'd be trying to block out information from the source, I'd see your comments as facts, not speculation. I wasn't trying to start a war when I said I wouldn't be reading your posts, just explaining what I had to do for it to be "to each his own."
