I think once the "You didn't watch the show correctly" comments enter a debate it's all over from there.

If I've read correctly, fans left the show when Spike got the soul. Was it the Redemptionistas (?) who avidly believed Spike was redeemable without the soul.
I can't remember a lot of fans leaving about the soul at the time, but a lot of people left after Seeing Red. As far as Redemptionistas, there were a lot of different kinds, if I remember correctly- those that just wanted Spike redeemed no matter what, those that wanted him redeemed while unsouled, those that wanted him to have a soul, etc.

After Spike got souled, there were those who felt conflicted about it. For me, it was like once he had it, I didn't want him to lose it because it was what the Spike-haters wanted because they could use it as an excuse to dismiss every good thing he did, and yet I didn't want him to have the soul in the first place. I was so conflicted! XD

I'm glad that Mariah can recognize that both Angel and Spike have their own journeys that are unique to each fella. :D
