Actually, he was very adamant that mother/daughter pairings are NOT incest, because incest is a bad thing and Joyce/Dawn would be beautiful.
He also thought no writer should ever be allowed to kill off Buffy or Dawn, because that would make a happy ending impossible and everything must have a happy ending. (All other characters were fair game, though, since if you killed Willow you could always just have Amy take her place in the gang. Yes, that's the example he used.)
