Well, I agree with you regarding accidents. But, if someone posts something spoilery, and someone comes along and says, "Psst. Some people might find that spoilery," (<--note the lack of hostility) and then they deliberately do not go back and cut tag it, well, I consider that to be rude, personally, and they shouldn't be upset if people remove them from their friends list for it. It goes both ways, as I said.
As for Tigress, the issue with her post about thanks was the timing of it, imo. She'd just spoiled a lot of people on her FL about a casting thing because she and her friends had determined it was no longer a spoiler. Okay, fine, whatever. But don't make a decision like that, spoil people, then expect them to be happy that you didn't spoil them more. I think when people were expecting an apology or an "Oops, that was an accident" and instead they get a post that's like, "You should thank me for not spoiling you more," well, they're gonna get pissed.
She'd have been wise to wait a week or so to make the post, because there is definitely nothing at all wrong with thanking people for using cut tags. I love people who use cut tags. They are wonderful people. I'd be happy to thank them.
