  The problem was that you reduced all of that ("all this to say") to a single blob of dumbness ("I'm a contrarian") which the OP never actually said. The problem with that kind of comment is it makes discussion more predictable and less interesting. I understand the impulse to take someone's work and reduce it to a single obvious gesture of stupidity - it feels good because it feels like one has explained something and expunged an irritant - but it isn't fair and it isn't what this forum is for. There's another guideline that applies to cases like this too: "Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith."
