With your ignorant post you basically supported the original poster's point.  
Unless a player has played an equal amount(or there abouts) of both games they 
really can't argue the tactical difference between the two.  People have a 
tendancy to enjoy the game they played first and to dislike all the rest that 
aren't 'like' the other.  Bias plays a huge factor in people's judgement and 
that is very apparent in post about this topic.
