Huh. I may have been the person whose comment you're refer to in your secret, OP. I think it was back a month or so ago, and I said something about how Bones had always felt remarkably like fluffy, shippy X-Files fanfic? If so, that was me.

Anyway, I don't personally despise the first few seasons of Bones (which are the seasons I saw before I bailed). I also don't think I would call Bones a ripoff. But it certainly does feel derivative of MSR, in a really particular way - almost as though the Bones writing team had several avid readers/writers of fluffy MSR fanfic in their ranks. (Not trying to be a conspiracy theorist here, I'm just saying that's what it felt like.)

Actually, that quality was what made me fond of Bones for a few seasons, despite its mediocrity. I was so intensely in love with Mulder and Scully that anything which reminded me of them had an automatic in with me. But despite that, I can also see where you're coming from, OP. A lot of things about the writing of Bones bugged the crap out of me, and I would never personally compare the two shows or pairings as though they were equals. If I saw the pairings as being in competition with each other, I would want to clobber Booth/Brennan into the ground. They're like twinkies for dinner and ice cream for dessert. Whereas Mulder and Scully were a four course meal (at least for the first 5 - 7 seasons).
