why it is annoying:
Nobody likes wannabes who act like they're the shit when they haven't done anything to prove they're the shit.
Bisu is allowed to do it because we know he can play straight up.
I don't have that mindset anymore, but I think that's what goes on in the heads of people who start getting bm after they get cheesed.
If for some reason you care about this, and want to cheese without upsetting people, I suggest cheesing in a Re game. Or at least accepting re after winning like this.
If you outmuscle someone straight up, and then beat him with like dts in the next game, I'm pretty sure they won't complain as much.

I decided you can't play straight-up with terran, that's why you suck.

I won a ZvP on Destination straight-up, and on a regame on Othello I had a feeling he was going to 2gate so I 5pool'ed. Lo and behold he did 2gate and I countered it completely, and he complained and said it was lame to 5pool on a re.
But he 2gated.

People.

People shouldn't cry regardless. If I go fast DT or DT drop you and you cry about it, your a sore loser. There is no etiquette for when specific builds are appropriate.

People who utilize those tactics don't utilize them to prove they are the shit. They do it to win. Whether you know that the Protoss can play straight up or not is irrelevant, it's how he is playing in THIS game, and what YOU have to do to accommodate. Cheese is part of the game. You're not some moral superior to people who cheese because of that fact. It's a legitimate strategy to gain an advantage, and the Terran, if they have any sort of skill, should be trying to minimize that advantage and not crying about how the Protoss didn't play "straight up". Whatever happened to scouting? Reacting to enemy builds? Come on now.
Think about it this way. What are some things Terran do in TvP to gain an advantage? They to a hardpush/crawl to secure their third, laying mines and building turrets on the map, with a heavy siege force behind it. Do you expect Protoss to engage this fortress with "straight up" play? If the tank/mine/turret placement is correct, it is difficult for a Protoss of the same level to break it even with the reputed 1a2a3a and zealot bomb/runby. What else does Terran do? They do a FD push which is generally effective if the Protoss doesn't go 2 gate range. This allows them to prevent early game harass from a Protoss ground army, and it gives them ample time to start their 2nd while the Protoss is left behind. There are many other things but I'll leave it at that.
In other words, just because the methods Terran use to gain an advantage aren't as sneaky or flexible (drops, dt/ht being same tech tree), doesn't mean that you are somehow less gay or they are more lame. That's the mechanics of the respective races. The game is a strategy game, and it's about doing anything you are capable of doing to secure an advantage and win. Think JulyZerg vs. Best. Stork vs. Fantasy game 1. Boxer vs. Yellow bunkers. The list goes on. Cheese is done in the OSLs by the best players in the world, not because they are justified by their superior macro/micro in "straight up" play, but because that is what they CAN do to gain an advantage and CHOOSE to do. It's the same for ICCup; not every player who goes DT drop is some one-build-wonder that sucks otherwise but knows how to do that one harass.

What's so enjoyable about playing standard? You should have thanked this man; that sounds like an amasing game.

When protoss Dt/reaver drops who does more work?

Actually terran is really annoying. They have tanks that do like 500 dmg and shoot across the map and mines that do at least 1k damage and vultures that have insta-teleportation.

Yes but that's risky build if u lose reavers and without doing DMg it's gg. But to straight up answer your question I would say Protoss easily does more work

lol wat
protoss does this:
step 1: build templar archives and dts
step 2: attack move
step 3: build robo bay
step 4: build support and shuttle
step 5: build dts and reaver
step 6: load dts and reaver into shuttle
step 7: drop in terran base
step 8: gg
Terran does this:
1: why arent there goons attacking me somethings up
2: shit dts get scan/turrets up
3: thank god i got turrets/scan just in time only lost 6 scvs to one dt
4: wtf reaver and dt my vultures and marines cant do shit and my tanks die as soon as they pop
5: quick try and surround reaver with units, shit dt
6: quick siege up and turret while reaver/dt rapes the shit out of my main
7: watch protoss mass expand and get carriers
8: gg

When Protoss attacks a Terran turret/tank/mine fortress, who does more work? Exactly. That is why it is strategy and preparation/prevention of the strategy is impotant.

People who can only execute one build rarely rise above C level at best, from what I've heard. And even then, it's not even close to being everyone that falls into this category.
EDIT: I can say that every Terran I face can only turret/mine/tank push to third to 200/200 3/3 if they do it to me once and it would be just as logical as what you are arguing with.

Guys, there is no reason for racewars here.
Instead of whining about how one race merely plays differently than yours to get an advantage is stupid. Just figure out how to counter what they are doing to get an advantage. And so what if protoss micro may be just 1a2a3a. IMHO Zerg build orders are extremely easy and no one complains about those, nor should they.(reference: i play zerg quiet a bit) There are many other things that make that one race harder or easier than the other races. All of you that are complaining about it sound like people who complain about a class being stronger than another in World of Warcraft, its pointless and flame warring about it just makes you look immature.
Anyways, the game is not about who does more work, its about who plays better and who plays smarter. If something is Imba in the game then learn to counter it or play against it.
And as for the one build getting to C level, i find that only using one build to get to C really is inefficient when it comes to actually learning the game and getting good. Sure one BO may be good in the games you play, but pretty soon its really easily predicted and supremely easy to counter. And if you cant change your gameplan ever and only know one BO, how would you ever possibly counter any build or ever actually play effectively.  And just remember that it is a game, you can play to win, and you can play to win and have fun doing it.

So every protoss player on ICCup is a one-build-wonder?
Nony plays ICCup therefore Nony is a one-build-wonder?
Don't make assumptions about people. Honestly, I see nothing wrong with a game that makes you play differently and think, god forbid. Better an interesting game than one where you just go through the same mechanical drivel as you've done for 99% of your games. Every one of the points you mentioned except for #10 (if he's lost the game, he should just GG, not mass a ton of cannons), are perfectly legitimate.
