2001 April 25, Dori, “Re: A Comment re Spike's Action (spoilers for Intervention)”, in alt.tv.buffy-v-slayer (Usenet):I make no secret that I'm a Redemptionista, and I'm quite certain that Spike isn't redeemed. YET. He's on the path to redemption, but he's got to choose to stay on that path.
2001 July 2, Clairel, “The actual redemptionist position (was Re: Starved for S/B fic on the creative newsgroup?)”, in alt.tv.buffy-v-slayer (Usenet):In the first place, it is not true that redemptionistas want redemption for Spike to be easy or quick.
2001 July 26, Shawn Carter, “Re: I'm starting to get upset about the whole Spike thing”, in alt.tv.buffy-v-slayer (Usenet):If I see next season true sorrow and compassion from him in regards to his past actions, the redemptionistas will have a convert that they probably don't want.
2001 August 28, Ivytree, “Re: Maybe Spike doesn't *need* to be redeemed”, in alt.tv.buffy-v-slayer (Usenet):I'm a redemptionista, and I don't want to "think of Spike as a man." I think of him as another kind of sentient being, not a human.
2001 September 6, Charles Glasgow, “Re: Spike Needs to Be Redeemed”, in alt.tv.buffy-v-slayer (Usenet):However, even if you're only arguing that Spike is merely Dark Grey (much less Middlin' Gray or even Light Gray), then that's *still* a definite change from the Black Hat of "School Hard"... so trying to tell Redemptionistas that Spike hasn't really changed at all is... well, let's just say we don't agree.
2001 November 11, Lorelai, “Re: Will You Stop Watching the Show If...”, in alt.tv.buffy-v-slayer (Usenet):Yes, I am a Redemptionista, but that doesn't mean that I want an easy solution for Spike. I want it to be really hard for him.
2001 November 21, Kristel St. Johns, “"Smashed" thoughts and analysis”, in alt.tv.buffy-v-slayer (Usenet):But the instinct to kill wasn't there for Spike--he had to force it. This *is* a good thing for the Redemptionistas.
2005 November 14, Alane, “Happy Spike Redemption Day!”, in alt.tv.buffy-v-slayer (Usenet):Cheers to Spike. Cheers to the Redemptionistas who never stopped believing.

- What is absolute nirvana to a Bangel (a Buffy/Angel 'shipper) will, likely, utterly infuriate a Spuffy (Buffy/Spike 'shipper) while The Redemptionistas (see www.tabularasa.com) battle it out with The Ducks and The Evilistas in a seemingly never-ending game of 'my vampire's better than your vampire.'

- Once we were joined by a Dunnett reader who described herself as also "lurk madly on several Buffy lists" and who introduced SunnydaleU not only to Psyche's (now defunct) script and transcript site, but also to the Spike "redemptionistas" of the Bloody Awful Poet Society (BAPS), the floodgates were open (mack29, "REALLY late").
