Again, I never tried to change your opinion. We both explained why we thought it worked. You made a comment, we responded. That's kind of how conversation works. The closest to 'trying to change your opinion' I got was suggesting you try to read the fic to see what we were saying, because you had maintained that you didn't get it.

Another way that conversation works is that you don't have to say things flat out. The words you choose have implications, especially when given with examples. You might not have said it was stupid or bad, but you did say it meshes like peanut butter and mayo, which implies you think it sounds pretty gross. Your subsequent comments did not make me feel any sort of misunderstanding of the matter.
