Exciting News!

I am officially banned from "Mark Watches"! I am sort of impressed. He just posted about "Smashed" today. If I am too controversial in my opinions about Season 6 Buffy/Spike, it's going to be a bloodbath over there.

In related news, you were all right.

Wow! What'd you do to get banned?

I'm not sure what it was, exactly. Apparently I made a threat? A rape joke? I quite certain I did nothing of the kind. I did disagree with Mark about several things:

1. Whether Buffy consented to sex with Spike. (I say yes.)
2. Whether depressed women should be allowed to make their own sexual choices. (I say yes.)
3. Whether people should be allowed to find the Smashed sex scene "hot". (I say it's none of his damn business.)
4. Whether Buffy's use of violence was proportional and justified. (I say no.)

It was that last one that really set him off. Although he was really upset with many of his followers for "upvoting" things of which he disapproved. One of his mods was all over the place making accusations of "rape apology" to anybody who dared to think that Buffy saying "no" but doing the opposite indicated anything other than "no". I'd say, "take it up with the show's writers", but what's the point?

So, yeah. It's going to be ugly. Fans of Season 6, gird your loins!

Yeah, after I commented I went to look at the post and... wow. *backs away slowly*

I never bothered commenting there, just kept an eye on the reactions, and now I'm very glad.

You sucked me right in. I also commented. It's what all the cool kids are doing. :)

Oh dear. I wish you luck, sweetie!

Pah! What's he going to do - ban me? I don't follow him anyway. I just peek in if/when somebody says the review is interesting.
