sounds like someone is campaigning to be a mod...:p :p :p
it is funny that you are against 'biased' opinions because you seem to be one of the most biased people I have seen on the boards. I also find it funny that the only example of an annoying 'trolling' post to you is the one that is negative towards dubs. If you are going to get pissed that people give a blanket opinion about dubs, you also have to be fair and also get pissed when people give blanket opinions about Japanese VA's as well.
You bring the point about having a specific qualm with a dub, i.e. Dragonball Z, but I wonder who even cares to take the time to watch an anime twice with both audio tracks to decide which is better. They just stick with what is good for them. That creates a preference and an opinion that really isn't completely informed. I know that you are an avid dub guy, but have you watched every anime you own in both languages? If you haven't, how do you know that all the Japanese VA's are inferior to the English VA's? Sure that is an extreme example and typically you only have to watch no more than one episode in both languages, but that really will do little if your preference is already well estabilished.
Either way, I know this is hard for most of us (espicially mr. Vicious), but the best way to make a thread go away is to ignore it. If someone is being an idiot, just don't post and the thread will float its way down the list into oblivion.
I do understand where you are coming from, but there is something that just feels sour about adding any sort of new restrictions and rules to an already free and easy board. No one likes to get modded for having an opinion, no matter how ridiculous it seems to you or anyone else.
