It would be a relevant point to make if it hadn't been clear that I already knew it (as I said in my OP -- "If you hate Rose Tyler, then a series of television that is basically saying, "Yeah, that blonde chick? One of a kind," is pretty much guaranteed to piss you off.").
I think you need to understand that many people who think the Doctor was a jerk to Martha and that Rose as OTP is misguided ACTUALLY REALLY LIKE THE CHARACTER OF ROSE. While the writing lost its way at points, she was an interesting character whom I and many others who disagree with you enjoyed thoroughly. I loved New Who long before Martha showed up. But, as I said somewhere way above this, the whole hearts-n-flowers, soulmate approach is 1. not what we saw in S1 and S2, and 2. an irritatingly simplistic view of the Doctor, of women in general, and, oh yeah, of love.
