Is Bonnie a Hypocrite?

Ok, so I don't want to offend any Bonnie fans or anything. Just know that is not my intention, and I'm just saying what I feel...

So when Bonnie arrives back in town in "Miss Mystic Falls" she tells Elena to leave her alone because she blames Stefan and Damon for her grandmother's death. I get it, she's in a very sensitive place and is very upset, but Elena understands and is there for her, despite Bonnie pushing her away. But its not right to blame the Salvatore brothers. Who was it that almost blackmailed Grams into doing the spell that took too much out of her in the end? Stefan and Damon never asked her to do it, but she told Grams that she'd do it herself if she didn't help her... therefore, the Salvatores are in the clear for this deed. And then she lies to Elena, to top it off... and got Anna killed. Some things, I can never forgive. (I LOVED Anna!!!)

One more point: In "The Return" Bonnie tells Damon to give Caroline his blood to save her, telling him to do it for Elena. Then she tells him that he gets to live another day or something for curing Caroline. However, in "Brave New World" after Katherine kills Caroline and turns her into a vampire, Bonnie sets Damon on fire... what's that about??? She threatened him to feed Caroline his blood and when Katherine turns her - no fault of Damon's - she's so pissed she tries to kill him?

So what do you think? Were Bonnie's actions justified? Is she a hypocrite? Are you a fan of her?

Bonnie... ugh she frustrates me. She's so judgy and holds grudges against people (Elena) when it's not even their fault. Like when Bonnie's Grams died, she says she blames Stefan and Damon; that's fine, I understand why, but it wasn't Elena's fault. She didn't have anything to do with Grams dying. And then in season 3, when Bonnie's mom becomes a vampire, Bonnie really makes me mad. She gets all upset over her mom's transition and I'm like "I thought you didn't even like her??" and she again blames Elena when she yet again had no part in the death.

But I do like her :) She has some good moments. I guess I just don't understand or like how judgmental she is over vampires and other supernatural stuff. But it's apart of her character and she's not going to change so we have to love them for who they are.

^Lol I guess I had to vent a little bit about Bonnie huh? :) Just a little, haha

hmmm
This is why I was put off Bonnie in the first place! The trying to kill Damon stunt in 02x02 just put me off her for life... I've tried to like her but it's just not possible for me!

If you think about it, it's actually Katherine's fault. If she had told Damon she wasn't in the tomb, he wouldn't have tried getting in and risking an eternity of being stuck in there. And then Bonnie and Grams wouldn't have lost so much energy and strength trying to open the seal and then Grams wouldn't have died.

I liked Bonnie in the beginning of the series, hated her when I saw season 2 for the first time, liked her a little in season 3. I don't think the writers see the potential she has, though.
