It's everyone's bio, actually; they changed the style and I hate it. And I had several other people egging me on and felt like joining in the chorus of outraged howls.
(I always want fic. Some Optimus/Megatron in the near future would be wonderful, although I won't get to enjoy it until Monday evening.)
Heh. I always hate new styles the first time they affect me . . . I was sulking over Firefox for days (although that might've been because the bookmarks were a couple pixels thicker each so everything I had all OCD sorted out so each folder held exactly enough bookmarks that they all fit on the screen now had scroll thingies and so I had to transfer some into new folders and then memorize new locations for everything).
*rereads original post* Wow. I think I leveled up in "random incoherent rage."
Well, on further recollection (or possibly internet withdrawal) it's not as bad as I thought it was. I have a tendency to compare new thing somewhat negatively to how they were sometimes, and it takes a while for stuff to grow on me. I was annoyed by little style changes in Firefox 3 and WMP at first too, liked them better upon getting used to them, but right at the time it's never a welcome change for me, and I tend to not remember that mental switch the next time around. I sulk, throw minor fits about little things like "hey, these are supposed to be underlined" or "the Home button doesn't match the rest of the style" or "this needs something green," and then at some point it gets to, "hey, this isn't so bad," and eventually "hmm, actually I prefer this." But I never like it at the beginning, especially when it pops up as a surprise.

And what happened to your bio? I admit I haven't read it before, so I don't know what changes you spotted. (And do you want fic?)
