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.)

Babes, I would never defriend you should I disagree with you on one issue, or even more than one issue. It strikes me as rather... immature to do such a thing. Everyone has opinions and if we all had the same opinion on everything... don't you think that would be really boring?

TTFN,

All of which makes me feel like a total jerk because the person that actually should have been defriended was me - only I hadn't been friended in the first place, of course! But it was my response, not your post, that was being objected to.

So sorry it upset you when it was my fault. I deleted my post, which I shouldn't have made in the first place.

It's not your fault; you have every right to your opinion, too. This person was either too dumb to distinguish who had posted what, or else she just decided to take her anger at a variety of people out on me. Either way, she's the one being immature.

It's not the first time that the person in question has felt the need to jump in and defend James Marsters in the manner of a very determined pit-bull - this happened a few months ago when someone posted a not-so-flattering review of a "Ghost of the Robot" performance. I guess it's nice for James that he has such "loyal" and dedicated fans, but ... I always want to tell her to chill the hell out already!

Yeah, exactly. I really don't get why people are attacking me personally just because they disagree with my opinions. It really is completely immature.

Thanks for being cool.
