I have read that essay and totally agree with it. You might also want to read Barb C's review of season 6 on her site. It could be that JM was horrified by having to play a character who would do something so personally abhorrent to himself and felt he had to retroactively represent the character as more evil than he was.
And as for Buffy and Angel, Angel has done horrible things with a soul as well as without (example: the lawyer buffet; were all the people evil, Unlikely.)
As for ASH's comments. perhaps he felt it had to be justified otherwise his character was a blind jackass who didn't question the source of Wood info.
And how is this a feminist ending? She kisses the guy who hurt her more than anything and than tells him she may be ready for him in the future. Dru much?
