spoiler police

Does anyone else think the spoilerpolice are a little over the top? Kinda seems to me if you don't want to know what happened in the TDF today, don't look at the TDF forum. I ran afoul of the spoiler police unintentionally. However, thinking about it, the whole concept really limits discussion. For example, how can you discuss a thread on how Team X's DS is doing if you can't mention Team X's results today? How can you answer a thread reagarding Rider B's chances if you can't discuss how much time he gained or lossed today? I can see not positng a thread Rider C wins, but it someone Orwellian that you can't use actual current results to form an argument regarding a rider's chances or a team's performance.
