Back when S6 started, there was a guy whose name I can't remember who posted a lot on BAPS. He was primarily a Willow/Xander fan, but he liked Spike too. And when the spoilers for S6, with Xander hiding the engagement came out, he went bugfuck. He insisted that Joss couldn't handle writing adult characters, and that he was going to regress all the characters and their relationships, and ignore all the character development they'd had in S5, and so on. At the time, we thought he was crazy, and he eventually got so obnoxious that he was banned.
But in retrospect, he wasn't that far off. Joss seems to be able to take a character up to a certain point... but he can't get past that point, and has to roll them back.
