Call me sensitive, call me a pain in the ***, but if someone were to insult your favourite character, you'd get angry too, right?
I
 I love anime. I get very into the characters and plots. A friend and I are into Inuyasha and talk about new episodes in the manga like we all talk here. But honestly, it doesn't make me angry if people put down my favorite character.
 I guess for me, it's a matter of perspective. I've fought schools over my autistic son's curriculum and diagnoses. (and in one case won a suit against a school with the state's educational agency) I've been put down as a mother, I've had my son put down, and even my son's doctor's diagnoses and testing methods questioned by school people.
 As into anime and manga as I get, as much as I "love" certain characters...I guess that I just can't see getting so upset over them because somebody else doesn't feel the same. My first exposure to anime was almost 15 years ago. The very first anime I saw was "Fist of the North Star". My friend was watching it. He loved it. I hated it. Still do. I shrugged and went in search of anime I do like. He shrugged and kept watching it.
 This board is supportive of KuoxFai. Many are not and actively bash that pairing. I read, I shrug, I move on. I will, of course, put forth the reasons why **I** like a character or a pairing...I would even go so far as to argue a point if I felt I had the position to do so. But I'm not going to walk away hurt because they don't agree.
 Now that being said, obviously you do. There's not much I can really say because if that's how you feel, that's how you feel. But I guess I'd have to tender a small bit of advice that you can choose to happily ignore if you want to: people are going to discuss characters in forums about manga and anime series. Discussion and opinion of characters are going to happen and there will always be people whose opinions will be the polar opposite of yours. If you choose to frequent boards where such discussions occur, you may want to accept and understand that. If not, you may want to stick with fan sites strictly devoted to the character or pairing you like. You are far less likely to encounter opposing opinions there.
  There are a lot of very nice fan sites and rings devoted to the S+S pairing and to Sakura. Some of the artwork from fans and from the manga of the two are gorgeous. There are fan fiction sites out there that are creative and host a whole range of writing styles and ideas. Not to say that you aren't welcome to stay here and say what you like and why. You are. But you need to find where YOU are comfortable and only you can decide that.
