Well, in my case at least, I feel like I have no one but myself to blame, because I KNOW that perusing comments can lead to spoileriness. (But you didn't have a choice, because you got the comment notification and have the social obligation to answer! I wish that people would, at the very least, ASK FIRST!)

... and LOL at your poor hobbit fan. I can understand not really grasping the scope of a fandom if you're new to it, but as for the spoiler part, that is so sad on so many levels.
