I must admit that yesterday after reading the news about Bela, I was ready to quit the entire fandom of Supernatural for good. I was even considering to end my whole relationship with Supernatural all together. Now, I don't watch the show for Bela or anything like that. I was willing to quit Supernatural because of the fans and Kripke's poor decision making skills. Let me explain.
Kripke is a fantastic writer - all the writers are. I love the work they do, love their dedication, their creativity, their skill. I am disappointed that Kripke allows himself to be bullied by rabid fangirls.

spn_bela stated, "It pisses me off Eric listens to them. He needs to follow Joss rules of story telling. That means 'Give the Fans what they need, not what they Want' That makes for great story telling." I could not agree with this more. Kripke is the visionary behind the whole show and therefore should not listen to the jealous fangirls. Though it's nice that he listens to fans, gives them what they want, he needs to know when to draw the line. Bela never had a chance, and I'm surprised that he kept on Ruby.
According to

spn_bela, we still have a chance to fix this horrible mistake. It was bad enough that Kripke listened to the fangirls about Jo (okay, yes, she didn't work as a love interest because she was so young and acted like their little sister, but did she have to go away forever? NO!) Now this is happening to Bela. She doesn't have the chance to be built up as the antagonist she was meant to be because of the fangirls. Therefore, I want to work to correct this mess before Supernatural becomes literally unbearable to watch. This is the only reason I'm not leaving the fandom. So, if you like Bela and want to see her back, please join
spn_bela and let's try to fix this mistake.
