People also just have weird biases. It's possible that they're actually just nuts, and not pulling your leg. I honestly don't think I've ever seen anyone do the nakedly hyperbolic "so what you're saying is", and then have the person respond with "you know what? That IS what I'm saying". That's a first.
It seems that OMG!WTF! is to cops as Sliver is to teachers.
