I honestly don't get this logic, though. How is it different from say, discussing Game of Thrones with someone who doesn't have HBO? Or buying an issue of a comic book and showing it to a friend?

Yes, but we have spoiler tags that can be clearly marked.

I think the difference is subtle, but still there: what the patrons have paid for is not the comic; the comic is free. The patrons are seeing the comic early because the artist has decided to give them that reward for donating. Displaying or discussing the early comics ahead of when they are published for free sort of negates the reward aspect, in my opinion, and so it's less about sharing something you've bought than going against the wishes of the artist.
Again, that's all opinion - I don't have a window into Jeph's intentions, or know how he feels about the issue.
bhtooefr:
It also matters who the creator is.
HBO won't be sunk by people discussing Game of Thrones episodes during an early release period.
Jeph could be.
Thrillho:
I think this is all fairly petty. Can't you just wait 24 hours to talk about it?

I'm a patron of both QC and DoA, and in the DoA thread, I tend to write a response and just keep the tab open until it goes "live" and then post. It's just basic courtesy.
