Okay, good. I always want to make sure that my journal is a safe place for anyone's opinion (so long as it doesn't disenfranchise the powerless, but that's never happened before, so I'm not worried). And I have greatly appreciated the very eloquent defenses here as well, so I wanted to make sure this didn't read as hateful towards anyone who might love him.
. There's no sense reading something if you know it's going to hurt you or that you're going to violently disagree.
Exactly. And when he writes about Spike, I'm not going to read it for exactly this reason.
I can identify plenty of people by their favorite characters, but not nearly as many by the ones they don't like.
This is such a good thing! And I don't want anyone to associate me with hatred towards a particular character. Like I said, this is a one-time deal with me; I can guarantee I'll never make another post about how much I hate Xander. Just getting it out of my system before I move back to the love. I always want to be associated with loving Buffy or Spike or whoever. Love is definitely a better thing to be associated with.
