Just to clarify...

[rusty_halo]

I just want to clarify something from my previous post. I don't dislike James Marsters as a person or anything to that effect. Every interaction I've had with him personally has been positive, and every impression I've gotten from seeing him at cons is that he is kind, thoughtful, considerate, friendly, and funny. He's not perfect, but he doesn't have a giant attitude or anything either, and he seems, basically, like a very cool guy.

While I don't have a problem with him as a PERSON, I do have a big problem with his attitude toward Spike and toward his female fans, which I explained in this post. I have every right to disagree with his opinions, as he made them abundantly clear, over and over, at the con this weekend. The world would be a very sucky place indeed if no one was allowed to debate or disagree with another person's point of view.

The fact that I disagree with his opinions does not mean I have a problem with him as an individual. I have NEVER bashed James Marsters.

(And btw, if you want to unfriend me because you think I don't have the right to disagree with someone else's OPINION, then fine. Good riddance.)

Hmm. I'm kind of relived I'm still a relative newbie to the LJ world. I don't understand what the hell is going on actually. All I know is that you were upset by JM's views, and you vented, and that's what LJ is about, and I never thought you said anything horrible about him as a person. You were just... ranting. Hmm. I"m so terribly naive and confused. I think I shall go drink some more wine now and go read a book!

That's the thing! I was just venting (in my LIVEJOURNAL, which is practically what LJ if for!) and I NEVER EVER said anything mean about JM as a person. Yet I got personally insulted and defriended because I supposedly "called James names," which, in fact, I never did.
