The thing is, the attempted rape gets used as an excuse for disliking Spike, when really they just... dislike Spike.
You're soooo right.
Liking\disliking is always instinctive, visceral. People use brain and logic to prove their point of view, but their arguments rarely reflect real reasons of like\dislike.
And while I don't really get why someone would dislike Spike at all, I'd still be much happier if they'd defend their opinion that Spike sucks, rather than claiming to be morally superior because I'm supporting a rapist.
Yes, the attitude of moral superiority is especially frustrating. *sigh*
I don't think Scott Allie really understands just how loaded his comment was.
Hopefully he understands now. He sounds sincerely concerned about the kerkuffle on SlayAlive forums. I'm glad I wrote that letter.
