arguments for spoiler
warnings have been remarkably phrased in terms of hypothetical
readers. Nobody has said "Actually, I would be surprised to find a
spoiler in a section on the plot" or "Actually, this spoiler in this
article ruined Buffy's finale for me." I do find this telling.
How could the spoiler in the article ruin buffy's finale if I was
notified of it?
Just saying. I'll be refraining from doing a lot of book and movie
articles with this change that I might have been willing to touch
beforehand.
But I know that "Jeff Raymond likes tags" isn't any more of a reason
than "Phil Sandifer dislikes tags," and I'm mighty disenfranchised by
the wholesale removal of them at this point anyway, so...
