It mostly seems to bug people who believe that Buffy would never sleep with Angel voluntarily. If you accept that she would, then pretty much all the problems go away. :-) She doesn't feel violated and abused after the "glow wears off", because the sex was her idea in the first place. (And yes, I think the idea of "Glowhypnol" is mostly a fanwank by people who can't bear to imagine Buffy having sex with Angel any other way. ;-) )
who is responsible for everything bad that happened in your recent life, including death of 200+ slayers!
But he wasn't. Neither in reality (the deaths would have happened regardless of his intervention, even if you refuse to accept his claim that he prevented many more) nor in Buffy's mind (since she mostly blames herself for 'changing the world' and turning public opinion against her).
I'm not saying Buffy shouldn't demand a more detailed explanation and accounting from him later, and I'd be disappointed if she doesn't make at least one cutting remark: but seriously, Buffy's the kind of person who goes with her instincts and doesn't waste a lot of time in recrimination when there's an apocalypse to prevent.
