Yep, I've had no response from anyone. I've tried registering with different email addresses and everything. I'm running out of ways to make usernames out of "Fenderlove!"

Something tells me I'm about to get into a posting war over on BL's blog. Some lameass who obviously didn't read other people's posts wrote: "Wow, I am perplexed by all the negative reaction to Spider here. She is a very complex and interesting character, one that might be explained further in Spike's comic. He will require a support system of his own and she would fit that role. Beck would be another obvious choice. My vote would be for both characters to join Spike in his new adventure."

To which I responded, "Dear Anonymous Poster,
I think all the negative stems from the fact that she sexually exploited a man in a very vulnerable position by using his desire to protect those around him to get into his pants. Franco's art shows the disgust. If you place a female character in the same position as Spike and a male character in place of Spider, I doubt people would be clamoring for the two to get together. For God's sake, he'd just been stabbed in the groin with a hot poker, and she still wanted to do him, all the while taunting him that she would just take what she wanted if he didn't allow her to do so! She had no sympathy for him or those he was trying to save. It's not fun; it's not sexy; it's degradation at its lowest level."

I've said it once and I'll say it again, someone is going to get a flaming hot biscotti in the eye if they cross me today. I have had a very, very bad fucking day. >__
