Nay-sayer? How DARE you call me a nay-sayer! I have nothing against changes in the TFs designs and was one of the people inm full support of their movie incarnations. It drives me nuts when all of the G1 purists complain endlessly just becuase something is different from G1. I think I am fully within my rights to voice my opinion, and to hold my own opinion, and that opinion is that this is one but ugly Starscream!
If you don't like my opinion, "you can kiss my shiny metal ass!"
PS sorry for the lack of Megatron impersonations in this post. I was a bit too fired up to post in character this time.

Dude... Chill.
Seriously, it was a joke. It wasn't even mainly directed toward you, but generally toward a group of the fandom that just do not like the direction they're going in with this.

The Oxford English Dictionary defines naysayer as:
| QUOTE |
| a person who expresses negative or pessimistic views to the subject at hand: |
Now, the subject at hand was the topic of the Animated series toy designs, in which in your post you say:
| QUOTE |
| I think I am fully within my rights to voice my opinion, and to hold my own opinion, and that opinion is that this is one but ugly Starscream! |
Now with the subject at hand, once again, that is the Starscream animated toy... You have established a "negative or pessimistic view" to it. That is by definition a "naysayer". That's not an insult or a libelous statement, but a direct statement of fact. You disagree with the subject at hand. You have said "no" to the toy, you have said "nay." You were jokingly called a naysayer. This is not an insult. You are one who has said "no".
You took extreme offense to this, stating the quote above in an extremely hostile method. You admitted you were a naysayer, but you got pissed off by being called it. That is like saying a watermelon saying "I am not a watermelon, I am a large green hard shelled fruit with a sweet pink pulp interior, sometimes with seeds in it." Then you try to defend yourself by saying how you liked the movie designs. Well, if we were discussing the movie designs, then there'd be no problem. I personally do not like the movie designs, thus that would make me a naysayer in that particular subject. But the movie designs was not the subject.
And as for the "joking response"... Well my dear sir, I did not read that as a joke. I read that as melodrama... The thing is had you NOT posted this line:

I would have easily assumed it was a joke.
Truth is dude, I really don't give a crap. I'm not a mod or an admin. You want to bitch and complain when someone calles a duck a duck, that's fine. Along with your opinion, it's also your right as well. But I would lighten up a bit...
It's just a toy after all. They're supposed to be fun.

You have some good points MachSabre, and I apologize for going awall. I quite simply felt that Roadbuster's comment was a bit derogatory and that he was clumping me in with the G1 purists, which I am not, and I find it offensive that someone would think that of me.
This is quite honestly the only version of Starscream I don't like. Heck, some of his other designs were even better looking than his G1 incarnation!

Aww, come on! Megs, I just heard MachSabre saying something about your mom that's too innappropriate to post for even this board!
MachSabre, from what Megatron's been saying, it would seem that you're some kind of pants-less girly-man!
aaaaaaaaaand FIGHT!
MachSabre - September 21, 2007 02:51 PM (GMT)
Eh... I'm not wearing any pants. I guess it works out alright. :P
