First off, please paste my post where I was sarcastic and remarked that your credibility is equal to your number of posts.
Secondly, I have never, well I won't use never since I am not sure... But I do not recall ever saying that WoW was a superior game. I posted the reasons I did not like EQ2, which have nothing to do with WoW. If you read through my posts, I was unhappy with EQ2, for those same reasons, long before I even played WoW. I was against WoW as a matter of fact. I even defended EQ2 vs WoW's PvP.
My beef was with EQ2 and how the 'Vision' of the game was being implemented and changing the entire gaming experience. Not a simple "Warriors are doing too much damage with a knife" but a "You were never meant to get good loot or solo group mobs, so that is going away... Right now. Bye!". To me, that is a totally unfinished product where you have to go to extremes and change the landscape of the game. I can understand tweaking but the core game should have been done during testing.
I explained the reasons I was unhappy and no longer having fun with the game. Even in my previous posts I expressed my like for the technologies of EQ2 but felt that the graphics in WoW were not less, they were just different.
Regardless, I feel that it is in the way you presented your opinion that caused me to post my previous post to you. To me, there is a difference between saying:
The graphics in EQ2 have a 'plastic' look to them and are too shiny. I can turn down the lighting and other options to make it look less shiny and more workable.
Or saying:
The graphics in EQ2 look so fake and plastic like "Barbie as Rapunzel". Enjoy your CGI Barbie world!
Heh, and that is so fitting too. It reminded me of that horrible overplayed Barbie song that said "I'm made of plastic". Just the fact that I know what that said... Anyway.
I have no problem with you or anyone else posting their opinion about anything. Its the way the opinion was presented that caused my reaction. You can give your opinion without insulting those that like said product. Why would I, or anyone else, feel insulted? Let's look at what you said:

Can't imagine how people can possibly get behind playing a game that looks like WoW/Pokemon. Takes more imagination than I've got to play a game that looks like a Disney movie and imagine its a JRR Tolkien type of world. Have fun with your poopydoo happy super duper Warcraft/Pokemon game.

"quirky sense of humour" (/ie complete moron nerd humour, the type that makes you feel sorry for the person that made it in the first place). Can't believe there are people that actually found the ending in WarcraftIII funny. The shadowknight guy playing guitar like he's a "rockstar", oh that was so incredibly hilarious woo hoo... if your in the first grade.

Continue to defend it. Still just a low polygon count poor graphical cartoon that attempts to be funny in a way that makes one want to almost never play another game for the rest of their life in fear that they might be subjected to something so moronic again.

Nice 1st Grader logic. (edited) Lets just say they made WoW free, no wait, they actually PAID people to play it. Doesn't change the fact that the game has "My Little Pony" graphics. I'd rather Aragorn/Gimli/Balrog type characters to look like Aragorn/Gimli/Balrog than Pikachu, but that's just my personal taste I suppose. Like I said before enjoy your little Strawberry Shortcake World of Warcraft game.

I simply stated that if you like your fantasy games to look like Dance Dance Revolution or Pokemon then go ahead. I enjoy the graphical look of Everquest. I enjoyed movies like Lord of the Rings and prefer that look to some Disney movie that to me seems quite an inferior experience to even think of delving into.

If youre the type of person that likes Dance Dance Revolution over Knights of the Old Republic then perhaps I could understand why you would choose WoW over EQ2.

Anyone who disagrees with my belief that EQ2 is better than WoW because the WoW world looks like poopy doopy twinkle town is insulting me and my intelligence.
Now let's take one of your explanations as to why you said what you said. This is the catalyst that confirms your previous comments were also insults, which is how I read them. This, as well as your '1st grade' comment.

As far as feeling superior to those who watch Disney movies, I don't. My son watches the Wiggles. I just stated that I'd rather not play a fantasy game that looks like your in the world of "The Wiggles" and prefer a game based in a LOTR type environment.
You associate WoW with Pokemon, My Little Pony, Strawberry Shortcake, Mary Poppins, Disney, The Wiggles and other cartoons that I may have missed by name. Cartoons that are marketing driven, made for children and/or girly in nature.
What I understood from your comments was that (this is excluding the post where you flat out call people that find something funny which you do not, morons) anyone that likes WoW is a childish, immature moron that is inferior to you and likes cartoons that are made for children, primarily girls.
That is not an opinion as to why you like EQ2 over WoW, it is an insult, or if you prefer opinion, to anyone that likes WoW. There is no 'agree to disagree' here. Its a 'if you like WoW you are a sissy that is a moron and is lead by the nose through marketing'. It is that 'feeling', that I get from your posts, that I am referring too.
Your posts contain no constructive criticism and appear to only be made to inflame and insult. Your opinion, if name calling is an opinion, is not only about 2 distinct games, but about the gamers that choose to play them.
I'm not asking you to agree with me or to accept that I am right or to lie and pretend you like WoW. I do ask that you take your fellow gamers into consideration when posting.
I believe an opinion shouldn't be so biased as to be insulting to those that differ from your views. That sounds more like bashing. If in fact you feel so biased, then I ask that you be civil and post what you like so much about EQ2. Leave the bashing for in-game mobs.
I also believe in 'discussing' over 'arguing'. Arguing already carries too much emotion with it.
