Yeah, you know, I think I'm going to go with KellyHK on this one. Just like many of us have a tendency to see ourselves in characters and lay certain feelings and issues of our own on them, James no doubt does, too. Those comments are quite out of line with what I've read/heard from the writers over the last couple of seasons about their intentions for Spike, so I'm going with the "James has a personal issue" theory.
I do wonder if things like that stupid Salon article that said Spike ruined Buffy and basically blamed the fans for liking him to the detriment of the show have gotten to him. That article, like James's comments apparently, also smacked of a rather outdated sexism.
