I do want to make clear that I am talking about people who are respectful and can use a modicum of sense, and that I am in no way defending the user who previously went by Iris Mason, or saying that what he did was ameliorated by the fact that the episode is from 1986. Because I'm not; it was crappy and an awful thing to do.
I am saying for those of us who do want to discuss the old stuff (whether we see it or not), can we do so without having to worry about stepping on toes or walking on eggshells, or what? I don't know where in the run GSN is for any of their game shows, but I do know the names of the heavy hitters. For example, what of someone who says "Norma Brown will beat the Money Cards; set thy DVRs"? That's even older than Sale, and What Happened is not a secret to a large percentage of people in these parts, but maybe not everybody. Do we stifle discussion so the minority group can be surprised about what will happen, do they just suck spit and deal, or something in the middle?
