And the problem is not that people disagree, but the utterly disrespectful tone that is horrendously dismissive of those opinions (which, by the by, are not exactly new or unusual opinions about Joss's work). It isn't just comments stating that people disagreed with Girl-Wonder or Hathor Legacy, but the language used. Certainly more than a little sexism and racism showed up, cloaked in "nice guy language."
You should see some of the comments we've been moderating out! ;-)
ETA: I should say, that we've been moderating out at Hathor. I just realized that could be a little confusing, since I'm not talking about the comments at Whedonesque, but rather about the inevitable, more-obviously-offensive manifestations elsewhere.
