Well, I guess Faye going over to Sven's to rescue and/or accuse him of bedding a slut when his lawyer was there was completely rational behavior :) Totally grounded in reality and justified, since Faye is the self-declared preserver of All Women Who Touch Sven.
Face it, there's not a character in the comic who hasn't at one point or another stepped over that line. That's one thing that makes the comic funny.
And why is any pointing out a character's negative attributes equal to "hating" that character? Such simple worlds, people! It is entirely possible -- nay, very common -- to like a character or a person and still be aware of their faults and flaws. Many a fine person -- or character -- has a few issues. That's what makes them complex and interesting.
(Not quoting any of you folks 'cuz I don't know where you've BEEN. I used hand sanitizer before I got on the computer.)

This is a really good point, but we have context for Faye's emotions when this happens. We know she is insecure about relationships and we know that she knows it and she is working on it. And she apologizes when it's all over and feels like an asshat, whereas Dora still (apparently) feels vindicated and justified when her arguments with Marten are "over."

Wasn't that also when she had a concussion? It was pretty overblown, but she at least gave Sven the satisfaction of seeing her humiliated half to death. As someone said earlier, Faye is usually pretty quick to see when she is in the wrong. Dora, not so much. I think Faye overstates how mean and messed up she is, saying things like "I'm a bitch to deal with," and calling herself a "chick with issues." Dora portrays herself as the sweet and stable one. I think they are both off-base on self-evaluation.
