It's a common online communication snarl. You're (in this conversation) being very focused on precisely stating your attitudes and preferences. Other people aren't so much arguing with you, or telling you to change, as they're saying "Interesting. Now my feelings are the same in this way and different in that way..." In other words, they're taking off from what you said in order to talk about themselves. At times this can be FANTASTICALLY ANNOYING and make the original speaker feel comprehensively disagreed with. I've certainly been there.
