Yes, right on, except for the part about maybe I'm wrong. Hahaha. I'm such a bitch.
When someone I respect and admire has a different view point, I do really respect that view point, and they do make me think and wonder things I hadn't before. But does that mean I'm wrong? No. Just that we're different.
But yeah, I guess it does boil down to the fact that I have trouble accepting that other people--other really intelligent insightful people I admire--don't like the things I like. And when they write a character I like, but they don't like, sometimes I can just *tell* they don't like said character, and for some reasons their attempt at a fair portrayal of said character strikes a deeper, and much more annoyed, chord inside me than if some random Joe on the street tried to convince me Buffy was a total h0r.
