Battlestar Galactica spoiler wank
Nabbed from wank_report, and posting by request of an accountless friend who thinks BSG fandom is shamefully overlooked by F_W. Note: I don't follow BSG, so apologies for any errors. This is a near-copy of the report with links and spelling fixed; the "I" refers to the anon who reported.

Ah, Battlestar Galactica never fails.

I'll warn up front the wank is about spoilers and there are spoilers for BSG Season 3 in here.

Meet Michael Hinman, he writes for the site syfyportal.com.

He wrote an article about some spoilers/rumors for BSG season 3. So far so good. Then he posted a teaser and link at the BSG News community on LJ.

Problem is, both the subject line of the post and the teaser he wrote spoiled two things that will happen. Several posters asked him if could please put that under a spoiler cut since many people are trying to stay spoiler free. He does not take this request well.

He argues and argues with everyone there. The number and length of his posts is something else. I don't want to post highlights here since most of them relate to the spoilers in question. I'm polite like that. I will share a few of his gems.

"Oh, and another spoiler ... BSG is coming back for a third season in October."

"I am too busy of a person to get into a point-by-point debate with anyone."

I believe this may the best post of the thread:

"So, do you tell pro-choice advocates that to be polite to the unfair demands of other people, they should be pro-life? How is completely giving in to the bitches of two people, and some add-on somewhere, being polite? If your life isn't exciting enough that you have to create some drama, create it with someone else's post. Not mine."

The mod chimes in here, and it only increases the wank.

Nevertheless, michaelhinman edits the first post to put it under a cut -- but neglects to change the subject line, which is still spoilery.

He also continues wanking and wanking. When in doubt attack people for not posting with their REAL NAMES:

"Oh please spare me. It takes NO guts to come onto an online forum with a fake name like "HRLO" and attack someone because of some strange desire to have drama in their lives. I came and simply posted something from the site, which had a BSG news story, into a community that I have been a part of that publishes ... guess what!! ... BSG news."
