actually, she really does deserve it.
Everybody needs to stop being selfish, and realize that she is entitled to her own life and her own decisions. We lavish our own decisions and the right to life our life how we want to, why can't she?
That was a beautiful thank-you, and I wish that more people would understand. It was a gracious act by the fans that don't care if she ever is "Buffy" ever again. Just that she keeps doing what she does best: acting. She needs our support now more than ever (considering people are bashing her left and right) and I'm glad she got it. I hope she actually got to see it in the paper.
