It gradually turns out, that basically the only reason for that is, that he gets sent a lot of stuff where people try to polish their music with digital production gimmicks. Even apart from his ridiculously smug dismissal of everything programmed (although I agree that programmed imitations of instruments do mostly sounds bad), this thread is just about some pet peeve drenched in bias and has nothing really to do with the supposedly overall declining quality of the genre.
I don't think that pointing that out is as much a dick move, as starting this ridiculous discussion in the first place.

Unless the person criticizing it does so in a dickish manner, and you did. You were quite rude to him. The thread may be ridiculous (I couldn't care either way), but people aren't going to want to listen to dick moves. If you want to stop the thread, you could try go back to trying to teach him something.
