That makes sense, the feeling safe enough to argue with someone. I don't argue with anyone. Huh, now I'm wondering if I really don't feel safe enough to argue with anyone. Something to think about on my walk.

"Buffy learns to appreciate her friends?" I also never realized that was in doubt.

What gets me, at least with Dead Man's Party, is that they are so harsh on Buffy. If we were shown their own issues, shown what was making them so oblivious to how hurtful they were all being, then I might have bought it. And yeah, I get that they are upset that Buffy ran off, but that level of obliviousness, I think, calls for some serious personal issues that they would be going through.
