10. Because she made Willow happy again
9. Because she took Willow away from Oz, months after he dumped her
8. Because she saved Buffy's live
7. Because she's such a great role model for young gays
6. Because she's not stick thin (flouting number 6 conventions, woo, woo!)
5. Because she's achingly beautiful
4. Idiots don't understand her sense of humour
3. Because she's quiet, thoughtful and intelligent
2. Beacause she really does love her girlfriend
And the number one reason people hate Tara:
1. Because they are a bunch of f******g morons
Thank you!

Way to go birdie, I love #9, I always found it funny that people would say she stole Willow away from Oz, even though Oz had dumped her months before…they’re a very observant group

You said it, birdie!
I still don't get where that "There is no number six" thing came from . . . someone explain this to me?!?
I think you're absolutely right, and upon reading this list it strikes me that the people who hate her really must be astoundingly silly.

I think you summed it up perfectly birdie.
Shaniezak, the number 6 convention is a reference to LordBowler's infamous Top Ten Lists. They are absolutely hilarious and number 6 on each list is "There is no number six".

Rox: I beleive it predates even Lord Bowler. It's some bizarre Internet convention from the old days for fan-created Top Tens. It's not universal, but has stuck around.

Trickster, yeah...I can't believe people actually say/believe that. You can't make someone gay, can you? Maybe help discover what's already there...but a person's not doing to do something they don't want to do on their own free will.

What a very succinct way to sum it all up. Amber and Aly have had to put up with far too much shite from the empty-headed, feeble-minded and the just downright stupid. Makes me think that Darwin had it right with the whole "Natural Selection" theory....too bad it doesn't work the way we want it to. I always thought that morons shouldn't breed.

The 'no number six' thing is from a Monty Python sketch. I'm pretty sure it's from the Bruce/Philosophers sketch, but I'm not totally positive . . .

Jenny68 that's exactly why it bothers me when people say that. Tara did not MAKE Willow gay.
Yes Willow is in a sexual relationship with Tara, but still Tara did not make Willow gay. My theory is something inside of Willow was gay all along and being with Tara only helped her to see it.
Did that make sense? I know what I'm trying to say here, anyway.

maybe some girls hate Tara is because they are attracted to her and they don't want to admit it because they're, for the most part, straight identified. The woman is a goddess!
I really just don't understand why people don't like Tara except for their hang ups about sexuality. Also, Amber is like the coolest person in the world, maybe some people envy her that, i know i envy that, but i certainly don't hate her.

Oh, and the next time you see someone beating up on Amber, you might want to mention that she’s the only ‘Buffy’ cast member to appear in a film by an Oscar-winning director (Steven Soderbergh – she appeared in his film ‘King of the Hill’.)

It's not worth the effort Dig....from what I've seen, the Bronzers are too busy basking in the warm glow of being better than everyone else because of their access to the stars and because Joss posts there personally. If this topic were posted over there, I'm sure someone would get flamed. Hmm.......I guess I have issues, don't I? *smirk*

I just ambled over to The Bronze for a look-see, never have before, and I really MUST say that this is a far superior group! WHat the hell they talk about over there anyway? A bunch of non-W/T babbling, and if they are dissing Tara well....we should just invite Joss over here. And Amber, and Aly. Ohhh.....especially Amber and Aly, wonder how we could convince them?
er...on second thought, perhaps we'd just scare them away! They'd sic the whole lot of us with a bunch of cops. Though if the cops had cuffs.. ..hmmmm j/k, *return to lurking, and remove mind from gutter.* (wiccie it is all your fault, i just read your WONDERFUL stories! more! more! more! giggle)

You made heaps of sense Trickster. I never really thought of Tara making Willow gay....actually I'm not really sure what I used to think....but I agree with what you said.....I think it's actually set my mind straight on that matter (no pun intended).
