I don't give a flying rat's ass about what people online say about me or if they chose to expose themselves as having no lives (and being in need of medication) when they go for the jugular over some tv show.
WORD. Personal attacks - over a stupid TV show of all things! - are beyond pathetic. I can't even pretend to respect those people who get personal when they disagree with your *opinion* about a *fictional* character.
As for Buffy - I despise her from the bottom of my heart, for all the reasons Laura listed. The onscreen Buffy finished her journey by turning into someone extremely selfish, cold, manipulative, and ultimately heartless. I don't hate her because I "lack compassion" - on the contrary, I have overwhelming compassion for Buffy's victims, and when I remember their suffering at her hands, I wish the bus she was riding drove off the cliff.
