And once more I must protest the usage of the DIC names for the

USE THE RIGHT NAMES. Serena, Lita, Amy, Raye, Mina, Darien, Reeny, 
Molly, Chad, Andrew, Melvin, and others--DO NOT EXIST. Nor do the 
Sailor Scouts exist. Use the correct names or don't bother at all. 

	Get bent.

	Nobody, but NOBODY, has set you up as God of Sailor Moon
fanfiction.  How DARE you try to demand that the THOUSAND or so Sailor
Moon fanfic authors out there conform to your sense of aesthetics?

God DAMN, man. That was the biggest flame fest I've ever seen on the
FFML (granted I've only been on for five months).

You have a point, and you've made it, but couldn't you have done so in a
more reasonable manner? Yes, he WAS out of line to suggest that everyone
ought to use his naming preferences. Though I don't read any Sailor Moon
stuff myself, I can't imagine how using dub names could ever spoil a
good story. But wouldn't a simple "You are out of line here" have
sufficed?

I take it people like the dub? A lot? A WHOLE lot? So much, in fact, that it
drives people to flame those who are so 'tactlessly' purist?

Now, personally, I prefer the Japanese anmes, but heck, if someone writes a
good story using the dub names, then fine.

Geez.
Chris, Robert...Both of you people have points, okay? If you're going to be
that way, I suggest you take the claymores out and hack at each other in the
real world. Otherwise, if you can find it in your hearts to do this without
flaming (calm down, okay?) and/or snobbery (after all, not EVERYONE has seen
the sub), then I suppose the listt has room for a little more spam.
