The only thing that's bothering me reading through all of your comments is how you guys seem to keep "forgetting" Weiss's confession in Episode 15. Yes, while she went a little overboard with the insults and comparisons of Sun to the White Fang, she did have a justified reason to feel how she did.... A lot of you seem to think Weiss waaay overstepped her boundaries with Blake, but what about how Blake treated her? She never once bothered to ask Weiss about why she thought the way she did about the Faunus and White Fang, she just started spitting about accusations and insults without trying to get Weiss's side of the story.... And when Weiss finally did open up about the feud between the Schnees and the White Fang, Blake barely reacted, not even to the part about the train car being stolen (that was Blake, per the Black Trailer, she STOLE from Weiss, which made it pretty clear Blake was well-aware of Weiss's situation since even before their first meeting in Episode 2), and instead of admitting to stealing that Dust, or apologizing, she turned it around on herself, made the other girls feel bad for her, and completely ignore everything Weiss had just said.... All throughout Episode 16, neither Ruby nor Yang bothered to ask Weiss about her childhood, or even tried to sympathize with her, they just kept putting all of the blame on her for "making" Blake run away....

No, I'm not saying Weiss doesn't deserve a little flack every once in a while, because yes, she still has an attitude problem that I can only hope will change, or at least improve, over time, but she definitely didn't deserve all of that hate in the last two episodes of Volume 1.... It was like the girls were pretty much "validating" Blake's pain, while not even acknowledging Weiss's own.... THAT is something that really bothers me, and I hope we can revisit Weiss's past at some point this Volume so it does finally hit home with the girls, because she shouldn't have just been pushed aside the way she was, and always seems to be....
