Oh, yes, that was my take on it, too. They can spin whatever crap they want about running out of time, that had nothing to do with time. That was without a doubt the most deliberate smack in the face to a fanbase I have ever seen. What's even worse is the way they all led up to it. They never laid a mention anywhere about Buffy knowing he was alive and had that panel with Willow saying he was a 'love' in 35. They put Spike on the cover for no other real purpose other than to get as many Spike/Spuffy fans as possible, built up the possibility as much as they could. Then they roll THAT out. And it's all from Joss.
If that's what he wanted to write, I could go with it. But he deliberately tried to be as hurtful and insulting as he could. That was pretty much the end of Joss for me. I always thought he was a douchebag, but that just sealed it.
