Yeah, I read the thread. I still don't think his comments are anti-Buffy in any way, though. He just doesn't think she loved Spike the way he loved her, which is not an uncommon view. I don't either think he's that invested in B/A. I doubt he's given it much thought.

I found several of the other posters in that thread far more irritating than Brian. I expect you can guess which ones. They irritate the hell out of me on IDW too.
