I will point it out next time it comes across that way.
Look at your posts in the zoning skid. You have many posts arguing that people are justified in being upset. You don’t take the anti-zoning position but you argue against people arguing for zoning changes by suggesting people are reasonable to be upset while leaving your support of zoning changes to be a one liner.
So the perception is you agree with those who don’t want to change because that is what you spend your time discussing. Essentially it allows you to argue the position while being able to say you don’t hold the position.
Classic liberalism essentially is just libertarianism touting the elimination of the restriction of government in people’s lives. It is a fairly right wing economic stance and laisiz fair on social issues. So if it makes you feel better to call yourself classically liberal go ahead.
