You know, Maggie, I think this post just helped me land on a metaphor for how I feel. :)
Joss is Angel. He just destroyed the world, out of carelessness or stupidity or misguided good intentions, maybe a combination of all three, I'm not sure. But, you know, I kind of liked the world the way it was, and now it's besieged by demons because of him. He doesn't get to swoop in and save me from those demons and act like it's not his fault we're in this mess in the first place. Maybe some people will be able to forgive him, if it all works out in the end, and maybe they'll call him a hero for saving the day - and hey, maybe a few people even want to space-fuck him because they're under the influence of something - but given all the destruction that's been wrought, I still think it would've been better if he'd just left well enough alone. Buffy was doing fine without him.
I have definitely found certain opinions to be hurtful or rubbing salt in the wound, but for what it's worth, your posts aren't among them. And although I'm not feeling very chatty about BtVS anymore, I want you to know that I am following along and enjoying your note project.
