2. You may have heard both, but ascribing that belief to everyone who has a problem with #34/#35 is bound to lead to a lot of misunderstanding, since not everyone you're responding to thinks that. I think Buffy was in character in Chosen, but Angel was unrecognizable.
4. No she'd only personally seen Twilight put Satsu in the hospital, batter her badly enough to require extensive bandaging, and taunt her in a misogynistic fashion. How different is that, really from what she saw Caleb do? Throw in that she'd spent a YEAR thinking Twilight was responsible for everything. Buffy's steam of anger at Angel didn't slow down in Sanctuary, even though Angel was right. Why does it slow down here? I think you underestimate just how apt the Caleb analogy is.
5. The fact that it doesn't ALWAYS happen means you have to explain why it happens here, and not (remotely) in Sanctuary. The burden of proof is on you to explain why this time, of all times, Buffy can't resist Angel when we've seen her resist him on many other occasions. She didn't boink him in Chosen. Why not? In the middle of a war. Well -- she's in the middle of a losing war right now with massive casualties. No boinking then. Why inevitable boinking now?
7. Since when has Buffy led with trust with Angel? Again, see Sanctuary.
