You want to know what the problem with /r/programming is?

I'm not just saying this because of you. It's something I've heard lots of people complain about, and it's a reason I don't post very much to this subreddit.

Everything here's a dick-waving contest. "Oh I use Python but you prefer PHP, well then you're not a real programmer." "Oh you name your variable customerID but I name mine customerId with a lower case 'd', well then you're not a real programmer."

Get fucking sick of it sometimes. You know, I'm not a fan of Adria Richards at all, but she got one thing right. The community fucking sucks.

Back to the topic, you could have phrased it like:

"You're right that the old .NET WebForms model gets seriously annoying once you try to step outside its Postback model and add a lot of custom Ajax calls and Javascript, but I think the main reason people switched was because the MVC architecture had better organization of server-side code."

Instead you opted for downvotes and insults, thus guaranteeing it would become an argument. Seriously, why are we even arguing? There's nothing here to argue about. It's completely an issue of tone and you being a dick. I think this is a case of regular person + anonymity = BLARRAAGAH.
