In that case, nobody should be posting in any of the
Princess and the Frog or
Rapunzel threads, where every little piece of artwork gets scrutinized to death.
It's not about being spoiled or wanting to know everything. But really, if he's gonna announce that he's got something, he should know a bunch of people will ask a bunch of questions. The "I don't like spoilers" excuse just doesn't cut it because posting that he already has it in the first place and having a few pictures at all is a spoiler in the first place.

That's not the point. The point is he comes every few months and just does that.
brownpuppy, please re-read what I said earlier. I said I'm sure you have good intentions, but honestly, the way you tease everyone else by providing just a "here's me with the cover" and a couple caps it does come off as showing off even if you don't intend it to. It's not jealousy or envy or any other ill feelings, because honestly, I can be jealous of a lot of things, but "I have a DVD before you do" is certainly not one of them.
The truth is, this is a Disney forum where people are itchy for any and every information about upcoming Disney stuff. Well, the popular stuff. Nobody's grabbing for information about the new
Lone Ranger remake but if someone posts a new piece of clip art for
The Princess and the Frog then there's five pages of discussion. But to get back to what I was saying: people are always itchy for information. They want to know everything about everything as soon as possible, regardless if it comes from a UD review or from a member who gets something early, like you or lighthousemike.
Obviously, you two aren't obligated to provide caps or information or anything when you get this stuff early. But you guys do provide stuff. And lighthousemike has contributed a lot in his previews. He'll post dozens of screencaps and actually stick around in the thread to answer questions.
Look at your post history. 40 posts since November 2006. I took a gander at all your previews. Aside from your seven posts for
101 Dalmatians, your other four previews (
The Sword in the Stone,
The Little Mermaid 3,
Sleeping Beauty, and
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs) are just one or two posts of you with the cover, a sneak peeks menu screencap, and maybe one or two caps from the movie. You get hundreds of questions from dozens of members, and you only answer a couple of them and cite your "I don't like spoilers" excuse.
And honestly, if you don't like spoilers, why post the screencaps in the first place? Why post "I have it, here it is" pictures?
I'm not trying to say you don't contribute to the forums or that others contribute more, you obviously do contribute. But don't get defensive so quickly if people are criticising your few and far between posts that, while they do offer information, apparently isn't enough for the UD crowd.
I won't apologize for what I said because apologizing would mean I didn't mean what I said. And I meant what I said. You probably have good intentions and you obviously don't want to spoil too much. But think about the audience you've got here and keep that in mind next time you wanna "preview" something for us. Don't get so frickin' defensive and offended just because a few people say something that paints you in a bad light. They're entitled to their opinion just as much as you are to yours. If you want to continue posting your "here it is" pictures, go right head. If you don't, that's fine. Just don't blame a few non-brownpuppy-friendly posters in an attempt to guilt them to apologize.
albert
. I'm just glad you said your reasons, and Im sorry if I said I don't want to give out too much spoilers, and that I did. I don't usually post on this forum alot at all. I'm not trying to catch up to nobody.
