The psychologists end the paper (forthcoming in Psychological Science) by wondering if the pleasure of spoiled surprises might extend beyond fiction
I guess I've missed the part where it said "forthcoming", but then again, it may have been published in some preliminary form, and I thought before missing some link or reference and claiming how the idiots didn't include any references, making myself look like a complete buffoon, I'd just say "I'm only proceeding from the article" as a disclaimer.
May have been superfluous, but I did say "original paper" so I don't see how that's confusing.
There is no need for that at all. It's childish. It's idiotic.
Well I would've gladly taken some insults and ridicule for a crude mistake like that.
Last time when Frink posted about some LOST edit and I missed the part where he said he didn't write it, people were acting pretty fucking abusive about it, calling me a moron and posting pictures of bananas, but you didn't see me whine about it or deny my mistake because that (as soon as I realized it, that is) now did you?
Because it was completely justified.
Sometimes you just have to take it, laugh at your mistakes, and not allow the "act cocky and go into denial if abused" defense mechanism to take over. It simply doesn't help.
