TDH spoiler trolls.

I was talking to linda_lupos about how I hadn't been as excited about TDH as I'd wanted to be, and partly blamed the spoiler trolls.

And I'm really morbidly curious - did anyone ever find out who exactly was posting the spoilers? Was it fandomers, well meaning twelve year olds a few marbles short, an eighteen year old college frosh on drugs...?

Also, I want to know what the text image was people were apparently posting. It must've been spoilery enough to be upsetting.

(Yes, I know it's been half a year. I'm still curious.)

I made very sure that I did not visit any sites other than SQ and my other home site in the weeks leading up to DH. I heard about the spoilers that had been posted but unlike HBP, I never saw them, so they didn't affect me. Still didn't stop me going "O.o" when I read the epilogue and the names though. *lol*
