I've been lucky in both fandoms so far-- haven't seen much honest to god flaming and nastiness personally. But then, I don't write lightning rod shipfic, either. And I don't read that much of it. Genfic doesn't draw the same kind of fan. I think you can find historical examples of equal nastiness in both fandoms, trolling back through fandomwank's wiki. HP fandom may have a younger contingent, and of course, the canon inconsistencies can lead to some lively discussions. But I haven't see any devolve to namecalling and the like.
Is the Buffy fandom really active in ff net? I haven't had a lot of response to my Buffy fic there, but then, it's been archived elsewhere and none of it is new. That may change when I start posting my 06 nano novel out there.
And you are now on my Favorite Authors page, too. I'll have to drop by later and see if there's anything archived out there I've missed.
