Twice today, I have come across spoilers for comic books I am reading. This annoys me to no end. I only get to go to my comic store once a month, not once a week. So most of the time, people end up talking about stuff that I haven't read yet. And they spoil it. It's fine if they give me warning, I totally understand that after you've read a comic or watched a movie or done anything at all, you feel the need to talk about it with other people. But seriously, on these forums we have a spoiler BUTTON. If you want to spoil something and give people a warning, all you have to do is press a freaking button. 
 
Usually I'm good at avoiding spoilers. With Iron Man 2, for example, I managed to avoid pretty much all information about the movie once filming had started. I do this with most comic movies now, I might watch the initial trailer and read about the casting decisions, but once the movie has started filming, I avoid all information, because they're all spoilers. I'm probably one of the few who went to see Iron Man 2 who was surprised by certain scenes, because I didn't watch the trailers. 
 
But today... I had someone reply to one of my messages with a spoiler. Considering I get a PM whenever that happens, it's hard to avoid. There was no spoiler warning or anything, just a statement concerning Batman & Robin and the events of the recent issues. Which actually came out two days ago, it turns out. I got an apology from the guy and he figured out how to hide his spoiler. Then, when on the main page, I noticed a link to a thread about the identity of Oberon Sexton. So I felt like joining in the speculation, having no idea that Sexton's identity was revealed in the recent issue of B&R. And one guy literally says: "Spoiler Sexton is ______" with the big space being replaced with his true identity. No punctuation, no spoiler hide, nothing. He gave the spoiler warning so close to the actual spoiler that I physically couldn't avoid reading it. Wouldn't have been so bad (I was skeptical at first) but then a couple of posts later, someone else agreed with him, not giving any warning whatsoever. 
 
I was actually incredibly interested to find out Sexton's identity. And I'm sure, had I read the comic myself, it would have been a delightful surprise. But having been told who he is already... It's just going to take away from the issue, for me. And that sucks, because B&R is a great comic. Just needed to rant about this.
