That's a rather backhanded compliment.

Have you ever been asked to take part in market research?
They ask questions like 'which of these is nearest to your political
view, slightly left of centre, centre, slightly right of centre?'
Now assuming you agreed to take part, you choose one. You don't ask
the interviewer to add a box 'somewhat left of Stalin' (or whatever)
and then have them tick it.

I always tick the box "None of the above."



But there was no box 'none of the above'. Don't you get that?
Obviously, market research (and logic) is not familiar to you.

I matters not to me that you will not argue with me in future becasue I
was not arguing with you in the first place.
Does the ice cube radiate cold towards my finger? Of course it does but
that is my opinion and I may be wrong. People are welcome to hold the
opposing view. I am not frightened by that.

Do not assume that because I ask questions, I disagree with you.

I wish you well anyway as your posts are generally worth reading.
