Do you even know what "ad hominem" means? I really don't think you do; you don't appear to be a clever one at all given your own condescending and inconsiderate attitude, more so since you can't tell the diff between an ad hominem attack and plain sarcasm, which you apply in equal measure. Like too many IMDb users who misuse the term 'cause they think it makes them sound smart, you think it means anything you take as an insult rather than a specific application of fallacious forms of refutation? Oh, the irony.
People like you are plain annoying, getting all upset and acting like a real jerk, laying down your own rules as a means to justify insensitive, self-centered behaviour since you somehow see yourself as the ultimate authority re what constitutes valid reasons, and a time frame to boot, for coming to IMDB boards. Why? Because typing "Spoilers" is too damn hard for you?!
Spoiler alerts are just a kind and oh so easy to apply etiquette that demonstrates awareness of, and consideration for, other members.
I and many others have a look at IMDb boards before seeing a movie. One reason is just to get a sense of the film to see if it's worth spending time and money on. The marketing or blurb, etc. can be deceiving, especially with horror films. Takes no effort to put a spoiler warning, and it keeps everyone happy, so why on earth would you discourage this practice or get so butt hurt over such a brief reminder???
NOT EVERYONE IS YOU!
Ignorance is bliss... 'til it posts on the Internet, then, it's annoying.
