Do you visit many Buffy forums? Hang out in alt.tv.buffy-v-slayer some time - this thread is frivolous by comparison.
Yeah, well that's precisely why I don't go on Usenet anymore. Too many people take this stuff way too serious. It's one thing to be passionate about an imaginary universe. It's another thing to start turning it into an ideological squabble. Already have enough of those in real life!

Seems the beauty of this place is that you have the choice of whether to participate in ideological discussion or frivolity... Ain't life grand?

I know what you mean. I remember when I naively got in the middle of a "Can Spike be Redeemed?" debate and said something like "I don't care which way they go as long as it's entertaining". So the redemptionists hated me because I pointed out Spike might possibly be still a tad, you know, evil. And the anti-redemptionists hated me because I didn't want Spike dusted right away. (He's evil and entertaining - what a concept!)
If you fancy a more relaxed usenet group - check out uk.media.tv.buffy-v-slayer. I think it's more friendly. People still take the show seriously but there's less of a religious war type feeling. Although you'd be wise to read the FAQ - they don't let top-posters or unmarked spoilers off lightly.
I'm not much for web forums because they tend to be slow to load and a lot of them are linear which are hard to follow (Is it me or is 90% of the traffic on Bronze Beta 'shout-outs' to other posters?)
