Agreed that there are enough differences between the various Joss show 'verses that preferences are justified. But it's the bitter subgroups of Buffy and Angel fandom who perplex me. I've turned away from Angel and Buffy boards because of how vicious discussion can get -- usually about the merits or lack thereof of various characters. On the one hand, it's great in a way that Joss's fictional creations become so important to people that they can get all possessive. On the other hand, things get so nasty that it leaves a bad taste in the mouth.
Since I'm new to Firefly fandom, I'm wondering if there's that same vicious element lurking around in Firefly boards? My first sense is there isn't, which is a great relief.

A person has the right to like or dislike any show they want. I have always heard about buffy fans that did not watch angel. I heard that was one reason why they brought spike over to angel, to bring buffy fans over that did not previously watch angel. Myself, I have been a buffy fan since the beginning and never even considered not watching angel. I'm just curious why a person who loved buffy from the beginning would not naturally gravitate to angel as well? As I said this is not a criticism just a curiosity. I've never had the chance to ask someone that fell into this category. Also, as big a fan as I am of buffy and angel, I have never posted on any of those sites. But firefly did move me to do so, that and the greatness of this site. Kudos to the makers of this site.

Personally I have been a fan of Buffy since it first aired, and hated to see it go. I have even started getting into Angel since it started running on TNT at night, but neither of these shows affected me the way Firefly has done. In all honesty, I have never even posted on a Buffy board, and rarely even look at one on the internet. Now if you consider I am here everyday, and really enjoy discussing Firefly, that should tell you how much this show means to me.
