I grew up watching dubs. Cantonese dubs, but dubs nonetheless. I don't mind them. Actually I kinda like them. I love Japanese originals, of course, but I like my Cantonese dubs too, even though they use the same 5 voice actors for all the anime they had on TV XDDDDD And obviously they butchered the original a bit because manners of speech can't be translated exactly. But I like them. Thinking about it makes me a bit nostalgic.

I bet some of the people are complaining about it for fun, but I laugh at those moaning about badness of dubs and actually feel the need to have a discussion on the badness. I laugh for the obvious reasons (you don't have to watch if you don't want to; you've got ones with subs; at least dubs make it available to more people who may eventually discover more about anime, etc etc). These people are so amusing. Didn't a lot of them discover Gundam Wing (and anime) when they first showed it on American TV or something? I'm pretty sure dubbed Pokemon and Digimon brought some people into anime too.

These people are just too funny XDDDD

Not liking it is fine, it just gets tiresome when people start hating and bashing it. And sometimes people forget to question the accuracy of subs, as well. For example, DB's Bleach subs are flaky in so many places :/ a lot of the time, subbers miss out on the little details that define a character as well. Dubs are often worse, but people should stop waving their holy sticks and beating it to death.

I'm used to looking at Anime News Network, where the majority of people seem to be pro-dub to the point of claiming anyone who says they don't like something in a dub is anti-dub. People who are fanatic on either side need to lighten up. ^_^

XD People do need to realise "not liking" something is different from "disliking" it.
