Well I'd think either side, if not backed up with any reasonable logic besides "it looks stupid" isn't the best addition to a topic. It doesn't matter if you like feathers or not, if the only reasoning is "I don't like how it looks," it's a useless addition to the conversation. This is true of just about any debate, I'd think.

I am annoyed by the wait times here at the DMV. x)

I personally find the idea that all dinosaurs were feathered to be ludicrous and this article gave me some comfort in knowing that it's still a valid theory to think not all dinosaurs were feathered, but I'll still agree that there were most likely some dinosaurs that have feathers, just not every single specimen to have existed. But I'm dragging on the topic. Anyway, having a bad time sleeping annoys me.

Jerks in general. Bullies. Scum of the earth they all are.
I'm pretty sure they spawn on dirty locker room floors.

I don't think every single dinosaur had feathers either, but I think feathers or feather-like integuments existed in all coelurosaurs (and possibly even in some non-coelurosaurian theropods such as megalosaurs), some ceratopsians, and a few small ornithopods. My dislike of feathered ankylosaurs, hadrosaurs, or sauropodomorphs has nothing to do with my personal preference or artistic taste, I just don't see the practicality of them.

BTW saying "most likely had feathers" is incorrect, we have direct fossil evidence of feathers in many small to medium-sized coelurosaurian theropod dinosaurs.

Fur farming; it's horrible. Freaking saddest, most unnecessary thing in the world.
THIS. Though Denmark is starting to use gas chambers, they're still in small cages, with little to no enrichment.

Buddy, you summed up my feelings about feathered dinosaurs. Though i will say i think most dinosaurs that lived in cold climates (Specifically Antarctopelta) were feathered.

I was reading over some of the older ones we were doing, like Death's Gamble, Midnight Equinox and others.

Ah, gotcha. I'm sure at some point we'll get back to them and find new inspiration

Technically, EVERY SINGLE DINOSAUR was feathered, though not in the way this sounds at first ;)
Dinosaur scales are no real scales but a special kind of scales, which makes all dinosaurs entirely covered in feathers xD

I realize that, and while that sounds ludicrous, i know it's true, but I'm still gonna call them scales. Anyway, what i meant was that the idea that every single dinosaur was covered in the type of feathers traditionally seen in birds, which i think is just ludicrous and it annoys me how extreme people go with feathers, like saying that Tyrannosaurus had a full coat of feathers (Which in reality would be rather impractical) or saying that every single dinosaur had bird-like feathers because dinosaur scales are actually an adapted from of feathers

But Dr.Hax, that's how Tyrannosaurus Rex hunted, obviously it wasn't an endurance runner, so it would disguise itself as a giganto bush. You couldn't even see their arms or heads, it was all just one fluff of feathers, they could only navigate themselves on smell alone. Stegosaurus also didn't have plates, they were just huge, hardened feathers, same with it's spikes, edged, sharp feathers. /sarcasm
