So now Gail Berman was the real uncredited author of "Buffy"?! Somehow it's not Whedon who wrote all those scripts and many more he's not credited with because he rewrote so many of the scripts, as every writer who worked on the show tells you? Somehow Buffy the show and the character of Buffy became what she is not because, but in spite of episodes like Welcome to the Hellmouth, Prophecy Girl, Lie to Me, Innocence, Becoming I/II, Anne, etc. and later Restless, The Gift, Once More, With Feeling, Conversations with Dead People...?

And since Whedon now says he understands that Buffy is his avatar ("Buffy was me") I suppose this means he really hates and despises himself?

Sorry but that just doesn't make sense to me. It looks a lot like Season 6 fandom 2.0 but now with Whedon as the reviled figure instead of Noxon.
