I don't think anyone would enforce disciplinary anythings over this, nor would I want anything of the sort.

I can completely empathize with your feelings about anime in general, which is quite similar to mine. Ranting = caring is also something I feel, and reflects a good chunk of my personal reply to Krayz.

I honestly don't think anyone here goes out of their way to be asses. However, because everyone seems to have their faucets on full blast, a good number of posts have begun to turn offensive/abrasive/whiny. That by itself is not necessarily a bad thing, but when everything starts to become like that, I feel it becomes less and less enjoyable to hang around here and talk anime with the locals.

I think gushing about a show is totally fine unreserved. I don't think anyone gets hurt when someone praises something they don't particularly like. They might not agree, but that's about it. The opposite seems to be more potent. When someone brutally attacks something you like, it's very hard not to take it (or at least a part of it) personally. You are your preferences, after all.
