I don't want to point out particular posters because a) they're entitled to their opinion and b) I don't want to start a board war over it, but I have seen a fair few Buffy bashing posts. It's not all I've seen. I've seen loads of pro-Buffy posts, some very insightful debates as well as the usual Buffy fan rants (fans who wish the last two seasons never happened, who hated Seeing Red and the consequences, who didn't like season seven, the usual stuff that we argue about amoung ourselves!)
What shocked me was seeing posters here dismiss the whole show out of hand, even saying they were put off watching Firefly because of it! All I can say is ... what??? Even if you didn't like the genre, you must have realised the writing was good! I mean, unless the only episode you saw was Bad Eggs or something...

I got dumped yesterday. Goddamn boys says they're commited to you but as soon as you tell them you are too they run for the hills because you feel more than they do and they're never going to feel as much as you do. And how the hell does he know how I feel. Then he gets to go on and on and on telling me how we can be friends and I'm like um no. I don't want to be your friend. Crap for brains. Stupid men! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
This post was brought to you by a men-hating hairy feminist wannabe.

When I think of an interesting signature you'll be the first to know.
Be your friend? You should have laughed in his face. People like that should have their asses kicked. Sorry you got dumped, join the club, and get in line and take a number. The only good man is a humilated, defiled man.

Something similar happened in one of my classes a few years ago, but since I'm incredibly tactless I somewhat loudly announced it to my friend. The girl tried to fix it. I then muttered "didn't work". So I can be a bit of a bitch . . . .
Enter rant(s):
1. WHY CAN'T MY ROOMMATE CLEAN ANYTHING? SHE'S A LAZY INCOMPETENT MORON AND SHE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO FUNCTION IN SOCIETY? JESUS! IF THE GARBAGE IS FULL, EMPTY IT. IF THE INTERNET DIES, CALL THE CABLE COMPANY, NOT YOUR SISTER. WHEN THE DISH RACK IS FULL, PUT THE DISHES AWAY!!!!!! She makes me furious and raises my blood pressure. At least my other roommate is totally awesome.
2. I'm not trying to rehash the South Dakota abortion ban debate, I just need to scream about a narrow-minded, self-righteous, a-hole named Bill Napoli. He's a Republican Senator for Rapid City and thinks abortion should only be allowed when: "A real-life description to me would be a rape victim, brutally raped, savaged. The girl was a virgin. She was religious. She planned on saving her virginity until she was married. She was brutalized and raped, sodomized as bad as you can possibly make it, and is impregnated. I mean, that girl could be so messed up, physically and psychologically, that carrying that child could very well threaten her life." I'M SORRY, BUT ALL RAPES, SEXUAL ASSAULTS, ETC ARE TRAUMATIZING TO THE VICTIM. NOT JUST THE SO-CALLED "VIOLENT" ONES. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THE GIRL IS A VIRGIN, RELIGIOUS, OR NOT. IT'S STILL A CRIME, IT'S STILL TRAUMATIC, AND IT WILL STILL HAVE LASTING PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECTS. But then again, I'm sure he gets raped all the time, so he must know how it is.
now I pass off the ranting torch . . .

not a BB (Buff basher)...that was the show that introduced me to mr. Whedon....i had to go back to find some of his other stuff (Roseanne), just to check out his writting skills....Buffy was great. Angel was just as good (for me)...but the guy got it all right with Firefly.
So, i get a little upset when people bash Buffy, too. I've had people tell me what a crappy show it was... people who haven't even seen it...
This brings me back to a previous rant. I just don't know anymore. You can buy the books, send them to school...but there are some people who are just hopelessly uninformed...misguided....apathetic...(i'm trying to be nice)...damn it...just plain stupid.... (i give you George Bush as a prime example)... "Shrub" as he is known here in Texas is so much not a leader...so much not presidential material...so much not the man of god that he pretends to be.... and the good citizens of this wacked out country keep trusting this guy..not to mention re-electing the bozo.... And what is sad (to the point of major depression) is the fact that in a few years there will be some other clown just as bad who will be chosen by the same god-fearing homophobes who put Shrub & his cronies in power....
So tell me, why is it that people refuse to learn from the mistakes of the past....? Are we doomed to repeat the same bloody history of warmongoring chicken-hawks and tyranical rulers.....
are we just circling the drain......
where are we going, and why am i in this hand-basket??

Men don't know what the fuck they are talking about, and 90% of them are complete idiots, and if I had my way that 90% would be castrated and then disemboweled in front of a pack of waiting, hungry, wolves who would feast on their innards, and I would rejoice to the sound of their lasts, muffled screams...but that's just me.

oh, i'm not going to start any wars, I just genuinly hadn't seen any of the bashing posts, generally FF fans a Whedon fans, they 'get' his work, and like it.
But like I said I haven't left talk for a while.

I'm with ya there sweetie.
My first ever "serious relationship" we danced around each other for months, I finally decided that if I didn't do anything, nothing would happen. So I started it, short while, we were happy, getting on fine he even talked to his mom about me, not having any hang-ups with the whole 'saving myself for my wedding night' guff, we did the dirty, and few days later? " I just don't think you are ready for the commitment, you're to young, this is moving to quickly, blah blah blah, yadda yadda etc,
Patronising git. Stupid idiot as well, he was getting a 'perfect' deal as well - I liked him enough to spend time with him, enjoyed having him in my life and all the stufff that come with, but had no intention of ever dragging him down an aisle.
So I think, 'it must be me, I must be completely unlovable, it was just pity...
I felt just great, took years and several bad flngs to work that one out and get over it.
Some men just don't know a good thing when they see it.
He has a divorce and a kid now. Oh well, for him.
