The man has a large ego and has no shame in showing it off. That rubs people the wrong way. I don't care for him, I don't mind a few films he has made, but he is a pretty arrogant prick.
Some other forums, you will find that people bash directors like Peter Jackson. God, Lucas and Spielberg get hammered when Indy 4 came out. Now nobody talks about them.
Bay has his fan base and there is nothing wrong with liking his movies. Bay just inherited a lot of hate because he decided to take on one of the most beloved franchises in sci-fi and on top of that he admits to not liking Transformers to begin with.
Same reason we don't like Emmerich and Devlin (I can't remember if one or the other or both thought the original Godzilla movies were stupid)
Wouldn't you dislike someone for messing with something you cared about? Plus Bay's movies are generally disliked by the majority of people. (movie geeks)
