History:
Mike LaBrie, known also by his username VegettoEX, has been a Dragon Ball fan since he saw the second episode of the Ocean dub of Funimation's Dragon Ball Z English release. As he watched the series along, he wanted to know more about the series and turned to the budding internet for answers. He's been collecting information (and merchandise) ever since. This includes fansub VHS tape trading.
In 1998, he created the VegettoEX’s Ultimate DBZ website (which later became VegettoEX’s Home Page). The website gained a positive reputation by other Dragon Ball fans (if not anime fans in general):
http://www.angelfire.com/yt/gohansdragonballpage/VegettoEX.html
In 1999, he turned the website into DaizenshuuEX (named after the guides released in Japan) and the site's reputation as the premier Dragon Ball information site. The golden era of DaizenshuuEX occurred after the refurbishment of the website in 2003 and lasted until LaBrie merged the site with fellow Dragon Ball fansite, Kanzentai, into Kanzenshuu on April 1, 2012.
In the late 1990s, Mike had an abrasive and outspoken personality when it came to the "Sub vs. Dub" debate (which he has admitted to on Kanzenshuu's podcast). Having switched entirely to the original Japanese version via fansubs, he viewed the dub as an inferior product and did not have a positive opinion of those who were fans of it. In this sense, he has this "elitist douchebag" aura when it comes to the debate. In fact, he recently watched the English dub of DBZ Movie 8 when it was in theaters for a limited time last fall, fifteen years after it was first released.
This trickled into how he ran the website, too. For example, DaizenshuuEX (and early Kanzenshuu) had a word filter in its forums that turned any dub term into the original Japanese term. The word filter no longer exists, but this shows the autistic degree Mike will take things.
TL;DR Mike LaBrie is a Dragon Ball subfag.
Trivia:
His favorite Dragon Ball character is Appule:

As such, Mike voiced him in TeamFourStar's DBZ Abridged as a cameo (go to 1:17):

Institutionalized KickVic:
When the Vic Mignogna thread was created at the end of January of 2019, there were users that doubted the narrative pushed by KickVic.
LaBrie would not have dissenters in his forum and used Kanzenshhu user TKA's post to justify banning people "who were acting in bad faith" and those who were not "showing empathy to survivors":

A Note to Mike LaBrie aka VegettoEX:
You don't get to play tyrant to protect a bunch of liars or virtue-signaling career arsonists and transform a haven for Dragon Ball fans into an institutionalized hugbox like Pretty Ugly Little Liars.
You have abused what authority and influence you have to silence and censor others.
You have made enemies as a result.
Think about that.
