*nods* probably. But I don't like watching shows that cater to the clueless fans as much as I like watching the clueless characters. Probably because I don't get to see the fans get their comeuppance.
I'm not talking interviews, which I rarely read myself, I'm talking the number of episodes that Fury writes in which one of the characters spells out the moral of the episode, and/or in which the moral of the episode is way too simple and unambiguous for my taste even without spelling out.
I've seen him do things that could be interpreted as anti-Spike, but I tend to think that's not what he was going for. I just don't think he likes gray areas much, so when Spike is being gray Fury tends to push him towards black or white, depending. That's not having a hate-on for him, in fact it's perfectly compatible with your theory. But it's still not something I much fancy in a writer.
