My bad then. Apologies for the misunderstanding. I had faced the kind of people I talked about a few days ago and I was starting to get tired with it, hence the edgy reaction.
You do seem quite edgy and quite defensive about 3.x. For what it's worth, I run a 3.x Age of Worms campaign, a Pathfinder Kingmaker campaign, a 4e homebrew as well as play in a couple of others (3.x and 4e). I read on these boards people criticising elements of each of these - but at no time do I feel the need to crack out the defender shields (except just once actually when some poster decided to take aim at the integrity of the Paizo owners). Sometimes people get things wrong, sometimes people play differently to you and sometimes people have a really good point that makes you re-evaluate your own stance on an issue. I think edition warring happens when people feel that "their style of game play" and thus "they" are under attack, and thus feel the need to defend it. As well, when people attack something purely because it's different to what they do, they are lacking perhaps in perspective, angst happens and instant edition war. This shouldn't however prevent good hearty discussion.My bad then. Apologies for the misunderstanding.

That is also a very opinionated answer. I would not 3.5 splat is not neccesary as you stated above, but I won't say it is better without 3.x splat.the best part is playing PF alone and not mixed with 3x. I'm trying to help her avoid 12 months of trying to mix the two, when she's better off playing just PF.
I would be very interested to read your opinion on 3.x and Pathfinder because you seem to think that Pathfinder is not an improvement but a step backwards - something that the OP might find quite useful. The point is, it is quite obvious that you are not trying to offend and I'm sure people will take your words in the spirit that they are cast. Likewise I suppose, people should be entitled to that same respect, even if one presents a view quite forcefully rather than with the meekest squeak.
So yeah. I'd be quite interested in your opinion.

The reason why I was so edgy was because one troll went at me when I was in a bad mood, saying "You played 4e wrong because you still like 3.x" and another went "You played PF wrong because you still like 3.x"
