I just got back from visiting that site again! I was so pissed off at how the vote article just worshiped Bangel (Should Buffy be paired with her true love Angel?). And now I am reading letters and getting more and more pissed off.
Gonna go read fic - not sure trying to change the minds of idiots is worth the effort.
But I do have to say if my "true love" became evil, killed a few of my friends, set up a hideously awful scene for Giles, tortured Giles, and tried to end the world - I might have a few reservations. But even then, while declaring true love for me, if he went off, slept with another woman repeatedly, had a child, fell in love with still another woman, cut his child's throat and allowed the memories of all his friends to be altered/wiped and didn't tell me any of this when he visited - just acted as if I should never see anyone else - that's kind of a deal breaker.
I am not saying that Buffy and Angel had nothing - obviously they did have something which meant a lot - changed them both - but why can't Bangel shippers give any credit to Spike and Buffy beyond the ar. (And he didn't rape her - he attempted top, got stopped, went and got his soul and burned to death to save her from dying in another apocalypse)
Hell, I don't ship either - but I can see when people are being raving idiots!
Okay - now I am going to read fic! And let my blood pressure ease up!
