Oh ::gasps:: I'm not expecting a credit (but if you feel you really have to, lol, it's okay by me). I definitely feel that Giles would have gotten rid of the Crusciamentum by the time he took over. In fact, I've read fics where Quentin was actually continuing an already-discontinued and certainly barbaric policy (though that seems unlikely, considering the fact that the Council had employed wet teams to take out rogue slayers and, after all, when one died another was called; can we say disposable?). I've also read at least one fic where Giles was actively contemplating NOT administering the weakening potion but was so irritated by Buffy/Angel, etc., that he did it out of frustration and anger.
