That's because Pyro's logic leaves no room for discussion. He clearly dictates that his logic is flawless and that basically he alone knows the truth. When you create a thread of such impact using dogmas and not actual arguments, then of course people will attack them and will no reason with them. This is not the 15th century when you could claim to be sole bearer of the truth and get away with it. His threads always fall into that, and quite frankly people are getting tired of it. At least Khuutra tried to reason with him, and what did Pyro did? He called him a troll....yeah, that's the way to go entirely. 

Of course there's an opposing force to retrocore-ism exists and that the 3D worshipers are in much more prevalence nowadays. It's only normal for it to be so, just as the Sprite worshippers were in prevalence over the polygon worshippers back in the transition from the SNES to the PS1/Saturn/N64 era who claimed that there wouldn't be better animations that those found on sprite-based animations. It's wrong on both ways and if someone came here claiming that the 3D Mario games were the "true" ones using the same logic that Pyro had, then I would use the same replies I did. 

Don't get me wrong, my favourite Mario games are the 2D ones, by far. Heck, my entire favourite generation is the sprite one and I've struggled to find 3D games in all my experience to match games such as Secret of Mana II, Lufia II, Terranigma and so on. It's just that I can't stand when either faction goes on claiming that his/hers is the true one and anyone who likes differently is less of a fan.

No, that's not how it happened. Khuutra's first two posts in this thread were not meant to reason with Pyro, they were just adding more fuel to the fire. Only afterwards did Khuutra try to actually form an argument.

If anybody actually read what Pyro said in response to my posts, it should become clear that Pyro deliberately said certain over-the-top things. Basically, he has been playing around with several people and in such a case you can either get offended or join the game and take it lighthearted. Of course, posting in such a way puts him in a gray zone that can very well lead to a moderation if taken too far. A thread like this is definitely created with the intent to create certain reactions, but whether they materialize is up to the people who respond.

Thing is, if Pyro's creating these threads in such fashion, then he's doing them too soon and too fast and he's falling into an area that no longer people can (or bother to) tell if he's actually being serious or not. Too much of the same thing in a limited time frame is just annoying. 

If he's actually being serious, on the other hand, then he should expect that few, if any, people will take him seriously, especially when (again, given IF he's trying to be serious about it) he's unwilling to give an inch in his argument nor is he willing to dialogue a common ground between his logic and the logic of others.

Anyway, I promised myself I would stay away from his threads since the last fiasco, yet I clearly failed that, so that's probably my major fault in this whole shenanigan.
