We might as well remove skeletons arrows and spiders abilities to jump then.
Skeleton arrows and spider jumping does not create a large crater in the ground, destroying walls and making the land look like a spent minefield.
Creepers need a clear line of sight with the top half of your body in order to explode. They cannot see through glass. It really isn't that hard to get inside before sundown.
You're supposed to see them and kill them before they explode and always been on your toes looking for them. They're annoying but they're the only thing you should be afraid once you have decent weapons and armor.
I like creepers, it's a wonderful mob --- really pisses off players! *evil grin*
But I do hate the invisible monster bug, I cant say how many times invisible zombies killed me because I couldnt see them to attack (I assume it was zombies, I just started taking damage for no reason, could have been spiders...) But even so I say leave creepers alone.

Then you build the waypoint out of obsidian. Problem solved.
I've also had this problem with creepers blowing up my outdoor waypoints/teleporters, dont know why I never stopped to think to use obsidian... thanks!
I do echo the advice not to have lots of outdoor waypoints/teleporters though, most of mine are in rooms with doors and often through hidden passages.
On a side note: keep waypoints under a layer of dirt (or if indoors, a layer of whatever-you-use-for-flooring) helps prevent griefers from destroying them.
Yes creepers should explode, No there should not be any option to turn them off other than "spawn-monsters=false"
If you dont like creepers than click http://www.minecraft.net/play.jsp and have fun.
Beyond that I would have to say Lrn2cacti / build underground
play on the edge, play SMP multi, find a cave, and go in it with nothing but a few piece of logs and saplings, see how long you last ;D, me and 3 friends have lived off shrooms and underground tree farms for a few weeks now, and DAMN is it hard to make everything creeper proof xD

You did not buy the game, you helped fund development. In return you got an early, buggy build.
What if there was a king of creepers who spawned four or five creepers around him at a time wouldnt that be cool?? remember children always worship the almighty creeper
Also right now, with the lag that comes with monster combat, it's practically impossible to successfully kill a Creeper without it exploding.
What server are you playing on, broski? Obviously a laggy one, because I can kill creepers just fine at a reasonable distance. But if you get too close, they blow up. I guess you get too close, or the server you play on really sucks. Just saying.

I wonder if sansavarous is online...

THEY ARE NOT PENISES. THEY DO NOT RESEMBLE PENISES. IF THEY LOOK LIKE YOUR PENIS, YOU HAVE A PROBLEM.
sry just I really hate it when people call them penises. they don't look like penises at all.
skelles are good monsters to but nothing beats the that tall, four leged, green and totally ridiculus monster. vs
I always laugh when people find out for the first time.
I'm honestly VERY surprised at the poll numbers. If I had creepers on for 1 hr im -SURE- I would have at least 4 complaints from people
"My house got griefed"
"Some noob just ran up to my house with 4 creepers chasing him"
"Man the whole area looks horrible now, crater city!"
Put them 20 blocks down.. no prob.
Now what I wish we could do is turn them off on the surface and have them only spawn 20 down.

"LOLOL LET'S MAKE THIS CREEPER EXPLODE AT THIS DUDE'S HOUSE TROLOLOLOLOL!!!!"
