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.)

Oh man! Hugs to you, too. I'm all behind on LJ, and all I've run into today is big hububs. I haven't read many comments on this particular issue, just your original and A's, but jeez!

Maybe if we twist Grandma Helen's rain dance about a bit, we'll be able to bring joy back to fanland. I wonder if all this emotion is normal for when a fandom's show becomes defunct? I bet it is...

Maybe we're all having our periods at once. After all, we're just wacky emotional women. ;)

LOL!!!! The online cycle coincidences are kinda scary, actually. But as the lone woman in a household full of males -- I utterly deny being the wacky emotional one. At least if wacky and emotional are accompanied by 'weak'. *grins*

Hope today's a better day all around!
