The cosplay wank continues

Now David Willis is defending me and common decency in general!

I continue to find this whole saga hilarious, though I am baffled that it has gotten as much attention as it has.

I know some people do not like cosplay. That is fine. However, there are diplomatic ways to express that dislike, such as, "I do not like cosplay."

I also know that some people do not like the Transformers Collectors' Club magazine. That is fine, too. Ideally that dislike should be expressed politely and coupled with constructive criticism, if at all possible. For example, "I don't like the cosplayers on the cover. I would rather see new toys on the cover," would be a good constructive comment to express a certain viewpoint.

For the record, I'm not actually hurt or upset. I am darkly amused. So some people are not communicating effectively or politely on the internet. That's not news.

*snrk* I like that the person's name is Split Lip, and everyone wants to give him one to defend your honor.

Also: your costume was awesome. I'm not sure if I managed to actually *say* that to you, beyond thinking it...

And things like this are why I will forever refer to TFW as the YouTube Comments of Transformers Forums.
