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.
Okay, um, I'm lost. Uh, I'm angry, and I'm armed, so if you two have something that you need to work out --

[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.

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.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

Bag that.
Every Buffista scared of me is a wimp.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
the net-fandom dynamic amplifies everything.
Words worth repeating. There are still places in Stargate fandom, two+ years after Michael Shanks returned to the show, where you can't even mention season 6. (Okay, you can mention the three eps he appeared in, but that's it.) As in, you get kicked off the list/board for bringing up Jonas Quinn except in the context of the guy-who-got-Daniel-killed.
That kind of self-reinforcement tends to result in clusters of people with really wacky interpretations and concepts. They're way out on one end of the curve, but they don't even know, because they can't hear anyone else talking.
It's one of the reasons I tend to stay away from ship-specific and character-specific venues. t loves the Buffistas, who are only crazy in unfrightening ways
