Hee... I was going to comment about how I haven't experienced that hate when I saw this comment by harrigan. I feel like I've either been lucky or sheltered to not have read the bro hate. Mine you, I don't wonder far from LJ so that might help.
The thing that I've loved seeing fans having a really thoughtful discussion on the scene (and episode) without it becoming a brawl on who is right or wrong. I've always maintained that the scene has nothing to do with who is right or wrong. It's so much deeper than that.
In the past the boys fighting used to stress me. Then, after a couple of seasons of them basically getting along, I feel ready for them to finally thrash out some of their more deep seated issues.
If you read nothing else over there I do recommend de_nugis's comment. It's rather beautiful.
But I hear ya. I sometimes wonder if the nastiness is due to some fans not enjoying the show anymore and therefore need to find ways to "blame" one bro or the other. It always puzzles me that they don't look beyond that to see the bigger picture. But perhaps they just don't want to.
