You might not have been intentionally implying the opposite, but just to be on the safe side, it should be made clear that there's plenty of fanservice critics outside of Anime Suki. Actually, criticism of fanservice that I read on AS is pretty mild compared to what I often read on the anime blogosphere. And I have found fanservice criticism on other anime message boards and forums.
When it comes to the really overused stuff (like the two examples I mentioned in an earlier post), I think there's now at least as many people who dislike it as there are people who like it.
There's a place for fanservice in anime, but I wouldn't excuse the more facepalm-worthy examples of it just because
some people like it. At the very least, I wouldn't excuse it in a show that isn't clearly all about ecchi fanservice.
