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.)

I don't think it came across like you were bashing James Marsters at all, and if someone wants to unfriend you for having an opinion, then you're probably better off not having them as a friend anyway, imo.

I wrote JM a short letter just now, and I've just mailed it. I read it to a friend over the phone and she said it was mature and it didn't sound like I was pointing fingers, which I hope is true, and I think it gets my point across, without sounding accusatory, because I still like him as a person and admire him as an actor.

Yup, I think you're right. Thanks.
