As for the thing with Lamb, I agree -- I'm in the camp that loved Muhney but pretty much hated the character.  However, it's more what he represented in terms of the show, the world they created, and the writing in general that upset me so much with his being killed off.  I posted in more detail about that and tried to explain it as best I could, but I would completely understand if you're staying away from fandom right now, lol.  After 6pm today, my flist kind of... imploded.
