Wow. I didn't know there was so much hate out there. So far, the only character I saw bashed that much was Spike. Spike-haters always interpreted negatively everything he did, does and will probably do in the future :)

I briefly thought about posting something in Xander's defence but decided against it. My long history of communicating with Spike-haters taught me that any attempt at defencing the character makes people even more angry at him. And his fans too.
