I just want to say...I don't care so much about spoilers.

That's all. I think some people get a little too worked up about spoilers. It's not like knowing that Dick has blue eyes is really going to detract from your enjoyment of the book.

Mostly, spoilers matter in suspense. Heroes turned out to be easy to spoil because they spent almost the entire season making you wonder and created a lot of suspense. So I found myself caring about spoilers there.

In fairly epic fantasy, I find it hard to care much about spoilers.

I don't particularly care about Harry Potter spoilers. If you're purposefully out to spoil people I think that's pretty asinine, but don't let the OH MY GOD YOU SAID SOMETHING ABOUT SO AND SO BREATHING ON PAGE 360 THAT MEANS S/HE CAN'T BE DEAD YET AAAAAAAAAH people get to you.

I think it's really right to ask people not to talk about the book/movie/tv-series/etc. in front of you. The people can then turn around and ask you to go away and I think that's fair. :)

The internet and in particular, things like your friends page, makes it difficult to go "I'm not listening..." and stick your fingers in your ears and leave the room.

However, the person who asked you to shut down the conversation about the LoTR movies was wrong -- they should have left the room.

Really, I think it all comes down to manners and being polite. The person who was rudely asking you to shut down a conversation should have behaved better.

someone we know started griping about being spoiled for the LotR movies,

I... They... What? They what?
This reminds me of the person who got pissed off because I spoiled the ending of 'La Bamba' for them.
