Seriously? I’m ruining the twist?!! I’M RUINING THE TWIST?!!!?! The author’s notes on this subject were up the last time I checked, and I didn’t have any reason to think Eliezer would change that. If you check any other thread on this topic, you’ll find dozens of people talking about Quirrelmort. How many of those are you going to downvote? There’s no way anyone can hope to follow the conversation here without that assumption. One of the replies to my comment says how both Voldemort and Quirrell are characters of Tom Riddle. And its UPVOTED!!! I had no reason whatsoever to think I was spoiling anything for anyone and I think the response to my comment is totally unfair.
You’ve been told the spoiler policy.
You’ve been asked to obey it.
Expect to be downvoted if you don’t obey the rules of the thread.
Capital letters and multiple exclamation marks aren’t an argument.
I don’t like people who deliberately join a forum whose rules they don’t have any willingness to follow, no matter how “unfair” they seem to them.
The trouble was that you attributed the information to Eliezer, and said that it had been made explicitly clear. Commonly held speculation is one thing, insider information from the author is quite another.
If your comment was (non-rot13′d):

then it could have been read as your own speculation, and that would have been absolutely fine.
Seriously. If this was another forum, you’d have been outright banned by now for failing to follow the stated policy, even after repeated warnings. Please go elsewhere or follow the rules.
Aw. That’s like learning that the reason Mulder and Scully have such great chemistry is that David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson can’t stand each other.

Please be aware that not everyone wants you to leave. Whether you conform on not, I hope you stay.
This is fantastic and I look forward to more of the same.
EDIT: downvote me back if it helps. I doubt the regulars will defend this post with their upvotes.
FURTHER EDIT: okay, apparently I was wrong. After a reasonable dip, the comment is headed back up, despite my “No, no. Keep fighting.” encouragement.
Curious: what are you referring to by this?
The bickering.
You, specifically, do it so much. Surely you do it because you enjoy it?
(ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻
Not so much.

That… that isn’t true, is it?
