That's right. Your opinion is wrong. Not only that, but it is not allowed. You cannot say your opinion. Your opinion is 100% WRONG! Now you're probably thinking that that is ridiculous. And let me tell you, it is nowhere near that. This post contains 100% facts (which are right).
First, we will establish that my opinion is right. This will be simple. First of all, my opinion has FACTS to support it. Yours doesn't. If you don't believe so, please see my next paragraph. As my opinion has factual backing, that means that it is true. Also, if my opinion was not true, then why would I have it? After all, I only have the right opinion. I'm perfect. For further explanation, please visit the bottom of the next paragraph.
Next, we will establish that your opinion is wrong. We will start with the best argument: I said so. That's right, your opinion is wrong because I said so. And that is actually a valid argument. You know why? Because my opinions are facts. Next, recognize that your opinion contains no facts. For further explanation, please note the above paragraph. Not to mention another critical point: everyone is stupid. Of course, I'm not. I'm a special person, the only intelligent one amongst a sea of stupid people. The opinions of stupid people don't count. Oh, and might I mention: because your opinion is different, YOU ARE A TROLL!
I will also briefly touch on another thing: you cannot state your opinion. That's right. No more stating your incorrect opinions! Because they are incorrect, they serve no purpose except to make it take longer for me to scroll through all the praise that should rightly be in my thread. Also, I am forced to read every single post in a forum. It is completely impossible for me to ignore someone.
Finally, I have one last thing to say to you. This post, as it is my opinion, is supported by facts. It is also completely correct. Arguing against it serves no purpose except making you look like an illiterate moron. After all, my opinions are factual and right. Yours aren't.

Joking! I wanted to address two issues with this thread and possibly discuss them.
The first obvious one is opinions vs. facts. Many people seem to confuse the two.
Opinions are what you think.
Facts are something proven by many people.
There also seems to be an issue of people not accepting other opinions and just blindly shutting them out, possibly using some of these techniques. This makes debating difficult and repetitive.
The second issue is people not reading or comprehending posts, in particular, longer ones. I've seen countless times, "didn't read but assumed from title" or "tl;dr," or any other statement like that. I believe that if you don't want to read, A. you shouldn't be on a forum, and B. you shouldn't inform everyone else you don't like reading.
There also seems to be a bit of a problem with sarcasm detection. For example, this thread has one or two people taking it seriously even though it bleeds sarcasm.
I think that this lack of awareness also worsens the overall amount of trolls and similar people. With the lack of awareness, it is extremely easy for trolls to create a huge debate with no one recognizing it.

Now, now, children, your uncle DethPotato is here to tell you to be nice to each other regardless of each others' opinions. He is also coming here to tell you to either make a new thread regarding this topic, or get back on the main topic of this thread. Or, you could slightly change the topic of this thread so that your current discussion fits.
Everyone has seen the very numerous threads bashing the various features of 1.9, Notch, Mojang, etc. Can we turn down the hating? Just a little bit? Sure, everyone may not be pleased with enchanting, or potions, but really, is it at all realistic to expect that Notch will undo his work from the past several weeks and take these features out? One, that would infuriate far more players than it might pacify, and two, something like that is completely unprecedented in a game as popular as Minecraft. Complete feature removal? Forget about it. Nobody is forcing you to use enchantments and potions.

Adding an XP bar does NOT, I repeat NOT turn Minecraft into an RPG. An RPG, to quote the dictionary, is a game in which players assume the roles of characters in a fictional setting and take those characters through a structured narrative or structured decision making.
.
Fantasy elements are often found in RPGs, but the reverse is NOT true. Fantasy != RPG. XP bar + minor fantasy elements does not and WILL NEVER equal an RPG in Minecraft, since Minecraft is completely devoid of a plot whatsoever.
.
Finally, at the end of the day, you have to give Notch and Mojang some credit for what they have accomplished. Minecraft has over 3 million users. If Mojang was making bad gameplay decisions, why is Minecraft one of the most popular video games of all time? Because Mojang knows what they are doing. The success of Minecraft is testament to it.
.
tl;dr: If you cannot come up with a completely valid reason for claiming that 1.9 ruins Minecraft, please keep your mouth shut.
I give you an extra 20 internets just for referencing Cracked.com. And amazing writing, that pretty much sums up the more closed-minded roaming around the blogosphere. Well thought out. I take it the recent off-topic topic regarding abortion and atheism inspired this? Subjects like that often can really bring out the ignorance in most people, in ways you just described.

Not really... I mainly came up with the idea from just reading any debate thread and from a few posts I've seen regarding the newest update that act similarly to my first few paragraphs.
Behavior like this has always annoyed me and seems to be rather common (though I've noticed much less in the Off-Topic forums).

Now people understand how to debate, instead of saying they are right, and you are wrong. Damn retards...
Everything anyone says ever is a lie.
Time paradox.
World explodes.
Game over.
jokes! I also agree. Loved the post!
Did I make a typo somewhere, or is that a joke?
*confused*

Credit for the original goes to "The Money or the Gun" an old ABC tv series in Australia, hosted by Andrew Denton.
Than it's a win-win situation.

Why would you do this?
