My hatred of Dawn dwarfed any other hatred I could've felt for other Buffy/Angel characters.

Actually, until I was about 19 I was generally mistaken for a 14-year-old boy. Make what you will of that information. ;p

There might occasionally be a few bad apples — but there are also bad lady apples, too. Granted, this is a women's website with some strong feminist leanings, and it can be irritating if a post reeks of mansplaining/patriarchal attitudes, but I feel like 'overtaken' is a bit of an exaggeration — and I've seen plenty…

You may not have to lose him as a friend completely, but I definitely think distance is needed. If this is hard to do subtly (i.e., if he's the kind of friend that's going to blow up your phone saying, "How come we aren't hanging out so much?"), then be honest with him about it. I was in a similar situation once, and…

Bahahaha! Oh, I love fellow Angel fans!

1) Real adults don't use "retard".

Haha, feel free!

Call it what you will, I agree with what he said, although I do think the last paragraph could have been less vitriolic.

My opinion is my own, and is as stated.

I lol'd at "pizza and making out" — my best friend and I developed a definition of dating years ago: "You have to a) Have sex, b) Eat pizza together, and c) Talk about your feelings. 2/3 means you're either fuck buddies or good friends, depending on the two." :) And I think your fiance totally counts as a high school…

Completely irrelevant to the topic at hand: I think this is the first time I've ever noticed your full username (beyond "Ari Schwartz"), and I nearly did a spit-take. XD Your title is wondrous.

*slow clap* Excellent response.

Bahahaha! Seriously, though, with it being known that Whedon fans tend to be a teensy bit obsessive, you'd think someone would have recognized him by now!

You'd think your mom would have learned the rule of "the worst way to get your child to not do something is to tell them not to do it" by now. ;) My suggestion? Jello-wrestling wedding!

I think highschool-sweetheart-couples are freaking adorable, and I'm always so amazed by them. (My parents were highschool sweethearts — still going strong after 40 years!) However, when I think of what my life would be like if I'd married anyone I dated in high school — *shudder* Oh, the horror. I guess some high…

It's really sad to see someone whose self-worth is tied so tightly to "not being single". Hell, I fully believe that I am a MUCH better and happier person because I made myself spend time being single, and learning to actually like myself. That said, you gave a much more polite answer than I would have; mine would…

Yeah, screaming out a celebrity's name is just rude on way too many levels. Then again, I can't stand people who scream ANYONE'S name in public (with the exception of looking for a kid, etc.). Incidentally, I'd forgotten one part of the Billy Corgan story — at one point a kid walked past the table with a guitar in a…

Agreed. I was mortified when my friend approached Corgan, but he was very gracious. In the case of Mike Meyers, I literally found myself standing next to him — but I figured the same thing you did, that he just wanted to be a normal dude and not be bothered.

Oh, for fuck's sake, this isn't White Knighting — this is someone trying to do something about an act they find abhorrent. Quit being obtuse.
