I really don't like the way Buffy puts all the blame on Spike, how ~he "corrupted" her, and ~he convinved Xander to kill a man, etc. She's avoiding her own responsibility and taking away Xander's, at the same time.

Spike did exactly the same thing Xander did, when he was possessed. Everybody forgave Xander, ~because he was possessed...and that's basically what a vampire is. Looks human enough, has some memories and physical traits...but that is NOT a human being. Soul or no soul, we're talking about an entirely different species of sentient creature here!

I mean, Clem has a soul, right? He doesn't necessarily understand humans all the time, and vice versa.
