I do understand what you're saying. Also, although it may not have been terribly clear, I did edit my post to indicate that I had not included S7 cannon in my discussion and that S7 cannon proved me wrong. Hopefully it makes sense that that I was originally coming from a certain perspective, with S6 cannon, but 5 minutes after posting was willing to acknowledge that my perspective was wrong in S7 cannon.
And I understand that Joss has always said that Spike went to get his soul, and it makes sense that David Fury would also concur - they were the writers. It's hard to muddle through what we've got when so often our "cannon" is spelled out not in the actual show, but in the commentary from the writers. Because while one cannot argue with Joss most of the time, the way they had Spike play S6 does leave room for interpretation.
Frankly, I didn't expect to be heralded, so I kind of had a little rant in my little journal and didn't expect so many thoughts on this. But thanks for commenting regardless.
