Though, to be fair, I think the person who was upset with me was upset more by me making fun of people who believe in mood spoilers than for the spoiler itself. And that's a valid complaint. Just because one does not oneself hold a particular belief, doesn't make it okay to ridicule those who do.
I think not allowing someone to say simply "I liked that" is bullying. I really dislike the fandom wank style of bullying but this 'mood' thing seems to me the flip side. In both cases, it's like saying the universe revolves around me and my likes/dislikes and everyone had better tread lightly.
Your little joke was just that ---little ---, hardly mean and a gentle josh against an attitude that I find, frankly, oppressive.

I guess it's a good thing I'm not in SG, huh?
