I know JM tends to get a bit bitter sometimes (whereas at others, he'll explain what he thinks - and I agree - was Joss's view of the character in perfectly reasonable terms, though they don't tally with Joss's, as expressed on that Write Environment CD), but I had no idea DB did too. Actors! Such drama queens! Heh!
But they don't. So all I can do is ignore them and hope the writer does too, because they are in the minority.
Now I'm intrigued to know who this minority is, of course. I can guess, but maybe I'm wrong. If I'm right, I can see Joss being affected by that argument, but I would also like to believe he would be fair to his own character, who was not conceived in that way and people read far too much into what Joss (unfortunately, as it happens) didn't think twice about.
Unless it's that other minority.
Anyway, even if it's the first minority, I would be surprised if Joss had picked up on that argument, in view of the fact that most of the things he's had to say about Spike post-show have been more positive than not.
