No, Golds can take over a TS block if the other passenger is Gold. One good reason to spread the news about TS is so that Golds are a bit more intelligent on their seat selection ideas - and not just try to get as near the front as possible. But if you were Silver in 10A then you probably won't get access to 10B. Plus, if every window/aisle seat is taken, someone putting in special pleading at the airport may well get 10B as a consolation seat (and they typically won't be a Size 9).
