Whedon strikes again...

Some of them, like me, still like his work, and some do not. But I very rarely run into people who don't find fault with what he does.

I think the Whedon-worshippers are in the minority, too. However, they are so loud, and so confrontational, and so ready to attack anyone who says anything negative about Joss and his work because he is a genius and, if you don't get that, well you're just an idiot. And it's the squeaky wheels that tend to get the attention.

And, jerry, I think the point that article was trying to make is that there are a lot of Whedon fans like the ones you describe. (They like some of his stuff, but don't think he's flawless, or a genius.) But the hardcore Whedonites give "outsiders" the impression that all Whedon fans are the hardcore, "Joss is god, and anyone who doesn't think so is an idiot" types.
