  Perhaps that may be because *such is not what she did*.

  Mary posted an issue about a specific problem in a particular game she
was in.  End of story.  She never attempted to depict said game as
"classic D&D", nor did she depict other styles of play as impossible or
immoral.  These are all slants that *you* have placed upon a strawman
version of her posts.

  The hypocrite here is the person who *routinely* attacks other posters
for their style of play, and yet claims that such is being done to him
when called on it.  

  I'd love to see a single cite from you wherein Mary has attacked *you*
for your style of play the way you whiningly complain that she has.  Or
even a cite which sup****ts your interpretation of her arguments above.

  What do you mean "will die"?  

  It's dead.  

  Congratulations.  You killed it again.

  Speak for yourself.  There were a couple of pretty good discussions
going on before you again unleashed the inner asshole.
