Thanks, this is helpful.
I wasn't talking about people's responses to my posts specifically: I've had the same reaction to people's comments on other people's as well – I don't see a difference on that front.
My intuitive response has been "these people are just belligerent nitpickers who care more about arguing than about overcoming bias!" and so it's useful to have more charitable possible explanations in mind.
