A very public apology to Mr. Tucker David Wells

[summers_day]

After this.

Dear Mr. Wells:

I am very very sorry for my continuously uppity behavior.

You realize that the very fact of using the word "uppity" alligns you with years of racism, sexism, and oh, yes, by extension, homophobia.

I am very very sorry for ruining your prom night by keeping you from killing people; I'm sure you'd feel even better

That's right. Tucker's good people.

Although his boyfriend owes me ice cream.

Are you OK? Did he threaten you? Is there a spell? Are you a 'bot? Is this a good excuse to kill Tucker preferably without Kara knowing.

[summers_day]

He sure is!

It's OK. Diet Coke-fueled-slayer appeasing sarcasm. Your friend Kara is really charming. And a big fan of the capslock.

It's nice to know that you are nothing if not sincere.

Which means, you realize, that you're nothing. Yes, I have the sarcasm font on my computer, so I read your apology loud and clear. I actually gave reaching out to you a try. More than a try. And, sure, my delivery is off sometimes, but I was well intentioned. It turns out that I don't hate slayers, or high school, or even women. I just hate you

[summers_day]

So your idea of reaching out involves insulting people I like? Just like your idea of leaving high school behind is to mention it every other breath?

Tucker, you keep saying that you don't want me to judge you based on the past. But then you take offense when I don't blindly accept your judgment of Connor -- who I do know, who, as I mentioned, saved my life. So it's not so much that you don't want me judging people. It's that you want me to not judge you, and then accept your judgments of other people and get blindly on your side. You can't have it both ways. Either I take everybody individually, or I don't.

I apologized for everything you've accused me of. I don't have any control over whether you believe it or not. That's my apology, take it or leave it.

I never said you put Kara up to anything. And your middle name is in the annual. Where I looked the other day, to remind myself who you are.

What's the Heartworm & Wolf logo supposed to do, scare me?

Why are we still talking? You and Todd definitely have the same need to have the last word in common. And Alan Shore. Go figure. And none of you have made the slightest effort to know me now (with the exception of Todd, who used unconventional methods), so I should have expected as much.

All I did was WARN you about Connor. That he's trouble. My job was done, I should have just bowed out of the conversation, rather than let you goad me into some crap-ass rehashing of why I sucked and why you rule.

And it's "Wolfram" "&" "Hart" ... did it work? I'm guessing no, since you couldn't repeat it correctly.

Like I said: good luck, Buffy. Maybe you'll be the first slayer not to need it.

[summers_day]

Look, I'm just trying to take it one day at a time here.

And I can handle myself with Connor. Especially since he left town. Thanks for the warning, maybe.
