But because people I respect, admire and even care about seem wounded by the comics. And I wonder if every time I write about them it's rubbing salt in wounds.
One, if I cared, and took them seriously, the comics would hurt me very much. However I would be (and am) happy that others enjoy them, and find something worthwhile in them. And *I* worry that my snark upsets those who *do* like them...

ETA: Just one thing (shouldn't be here at all) - re. the position of Spike's bed. I doubt it has any significance AT ALL, since I very much doubt Jeanty bothered to look up Angel's bed. Similiarly, I can't see it crossing Joss' mind to include something like that. Sorry. But if it makes you happy, then don't let my cynicism stop you! :)
