Oh, I would never want anyone to jump on you! That's not cool here.
What I was reacting negatively to was the atmosphere of everyone gathering around to rejoice hating on something. I've had too many shitty experiences with that before.
That is totally understandable.
I had been reminded just a few days ago of Xander's saying that thing about coming back to town and Buffy having a horrible life and him taking her out to dinner and her crying and it just INFURIATED me. So this post came along at the exact moment that let me let that out. Besides, I mostly spend my time talking about the characters I love (for good reason--it's more enjoyable and more healthy) , so it was a one-time take-a-vacation-and-enjoy-that-some-people-actually-agree-with-me thing.
And I was absolutely sincere in wanting to hear the reasons people love him. So I'm glad that there were lots of defenses of him in this post, at least. I wanted this post to be more balanced, and I think people really stepped up to the plate for that, and I'm glad.
