What a, um, colorful interpretation of Spike's behavior. Apparently (1) trying to break up a relationship because you're jealous, and (2) exchanging a few home-truth jabs with a couple of old enemies, is outstandingly evil for a conscienceless killer. If the converse holds, we should be seeing rampant bloodshed on every situation comedy, since they all feature scoundrels who repeatedly commit acts of jealousy and mean-spiritedness.

Spike himself rejects the idea that he has the power to break up healthy relationships in "The Yoko Factor". Of course, we know he hates to brag.
