Please don't spoil me
So the spoilers for DH are starting to float. I know everyone on my flist is very sensible and thoughtful, but I feel the need to say this anyway.
I was spoiled accidentally for HBP, and I really do not want to be spoiled this time around. Please, please, please, those of you who like spoilers, put them behind a cut and warn for them. Put them behind a cut and do not mention anything in relation to them outside the cut - no emotional reactions, no excitement, no "OMG Dumbledore!" (or whoever - for anyone who's as scared of spoilers as I am, that name was picked at random). I do not want to know. Seriously.
Also, as of now, I'm not going to comment on any post that mentions spoilers, even without any links/discussion. Because while I trust all of you, I don't know your friends; I can't rely on them not to be idiotic, whether obliquely or otherwise (why yes, I have just had that happen), and I can't tell when they're being facetious rather than idiotic.
Oh, and just to be absolutely clear, mentioning a so-called spoiler in order to say it can't be true because x just wouldn't be true? That's spoiling me, at least, it is the way I define it. Sorry if this sounds really anal-retentive, but as I've said, I was spoiled for HBP against my will and I really, really, really don't want to be spoiled for this one.
Thanks!
Been ridiculously busy with work, but I've got a couple of days' leeway now. Hoping to catch up with you lot a bit now :).
