So you get people who have formed a whole online identity based on being angry about a fictional miscarriage of justice.
These persons scare me. Identities based on anger scare me.
Maybe I am just scared.
Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

Eh, Cindy, that must have been a doppelganger you bumped into at the Kitten board. As far as I remember, when I first ventured into online fandom, all the boards I registered at were Spike-centric. It is possible, though, that I registered at the Kitten board because they had information about Chance when it came out. Possibly, but I don't think so. I never would have posted there, though. As it is, most of the boards I'm registered at I just used either for spoiler info or for fic recs.

The Doyle fans, while definitely pissed off, never reached the same place that some of the W/T fans did. At times, they were annoying (especially the WE DESERVE THE TRUTH people). But mostly they were just eye-rolling funny.
The post-Tara death saga was, I think, the first time I saw other fans as "scary." All the "don't stand near any windows" rhetoric was a whole new level of anger and I still can't comprehend it.
