Did I said that ? Did I said that anyone was right 
or wrong ? Did I mentioned any anime myself except 
as an example ?

There is nothing I can do if you want to read 
things in my message that isn't there. It's your
problem.

Oh, you are allwed to have any opinion you want.
But you may not be allowed to voice it however you 
want on a forum. Big differance.
But again, did I forbad anybody to voice his 
opinion about anime ? Did I deleted that thread ?
(which by the way is out of topic for this forum)
I meerly made a comment.

Sure. Which doesn't mean tha there isn't objective 
criteria too. I am sick of people who seems to 
think that everything is black or white.
And we are not even speaking of an art work but of 
an anime. It's not like an abstract painting...

Again, is it what I did ? I meerly pointed out 
that dislike is not the same as bad. So what
are you trying to tell me ? That dislike is the 
same as bad ? That if you don't like something 
nobody can like it ? Weird...
(Don't answer: I know that it's not what you mean 
to say. But that's the only way you can disagree 
with my original message so... I wasn't aware that 
asking not to trash anime was soo ofending to 
some people. What did you said about opinion ? Or
did you mean that you should have the right to 
voice your opinion but nobody else should ?)
