Well, we'll have to agree to utterly disagree re: Angel's motivation. Oh, and also on Angel's amount of responsibility for Connor's state. He has some, but the lion's share goes to Holtz, and no, I don't think the fate of Holtz' family justifies Holtz there. (it would have if he'd acted on Angel and Darla directly.) Wesley, too, bears some blame, as does Connor himself, because as his monologue in Peace Out makes clear, he knew what he was doing.
