Like a lot of people on the board I am a fan of Barnabas and not because I want to jump in the sack with him, nor was I a fan of Buffy in high school because of any sexual content on the show. Most people are fans of something because they are intruiged by it's storyline or characters. Dark Shadows first drew me in because of it's supernatural elements, as did Buffy.
I personally grew frustrated with the Adam storyline because as smart as he was he just threw tantrums like a spoiled kid (which to a degree he was). It wasn't just Adam I was frustrated with but nearly every character that came in contact with him save Stokes. No one ever said a rational word to him, nor did they take a moment to tell him that that just isn't the way the world works. You can't bully, punish or threaten to get what you want without someday meeting the consequences head on, or without people refusing to help you.
I could identify with Carolyn wanting to let Adam off the hook easy on the romantic angle, but then getting really annoyed when the guy just wouldn't take a hint. Barnabas and Julia brought him to life, but when they discovered that he had the mental state of a newborn, washed their hands of him and pawned him off on Willie, whom I wouldn't trust as far as I could throw. Nicholas and Angelique ARE from hell after all, so you know their dealings with him weren't with any good intentions.
It was a huge relief to me when Chris and Amy showed up and signaled the start of a new storyline.

This is not an attack or an insult, but I don't think it's fair at all to ask for opinions and then get angry because they don't agree with yours. The forums are a great place to debate and converse, but in a civil manner.
