Exactly, I completely agree with you. I've NEVER thought Sam & Freddie hated each other-they're around each other most of the time, they've proven that they're actually close friends on numerous occasions, and they also manage to have civil conversations with no name-calling or abuse at all in a lot of episodes, even when Carly isn't there. And the so-called abuse is usually just Sam insulting Freddie or playing a joke on him. There have been very few actual times when Sam "beat him up". And I agree that most of the "bullying" is greatly exaggerated by both fans & the characters themselves.

Maybe it's more accurate to say they are often annoyed and irritated by each other. It's obvious they don't hate each other, and it's quite likely Sam actually has feelings for Freddie and that's her way of expressing them (we know she's not the kind of girl to speak her feelings to anyone but Carly). Who knows if Freddie retaliates for the same reason-maybe we'll find out in the upcoming episode! :)

BTW, there were other reasons why star trek fans were annoyed by wes crusher. for some of us, just looking at the pesky kid makes us grind our teeth.
