Is it a spoiler or not?

So I was on Facebook today & Mad Men posted a discussion about Ms. Blankenship's death & all these people went crazy complaining about the spoiler.  Honestly?  I of course commented & said "it's not a spoiler if the show aired 5 days ago" & people started going crazy!  People were bitching about the fact that they live in other countries & are a season behind, people were complaining that they just hadn't watched it yet, and some dumb girl said "anything discussed about the previous episode before the next episode airs is a spoiler".

Are these people insane?  I posted another note that said "Hollie, Betty has been remarried all season (some woman honestly thought she got married last Sunday) & to people who are complaining about spoilers for whatever reason...you shouldn't be following TV shows, the whole point of pages are to discuss the show & every episode of it that has already aired! TV in the U.S. is fair game once it has aired on the East & West Coasts. I agree with Lisa above (some other chick also bitching at the people bitching) that there should be U.S. & international pages." 

So let me ask you guys...what constitutes a spoiler for you? To me a spoiler is anything leaked out prior to the airing of an episode so if I miss it I don't expect the whole world to not discuss something that I was too busy to watch.  Dancing with the Stars posts the info about who got voted off the next day so why is it so awful for Mad Men to post about something that happened 5 days ago?  I mean, it's one thing when you are out with your friends & they start talking about something you haven't seen yet & you tell them to zip it but the internet...you expect the internet to wait for you to catch up?  Good luck on that one!  Here's a spoiler for you...you are going to have a life full of utter disappointment if that's the way you think.
