I'm just saying it should not be seen as one.
You are. Didn't you read me saying precisely that, in those precise words? I'm just giving my opinion, which happens to contrast with yours. That's what keeps debates going

a little yes, but when you really loved some one and you break up arn't you depressed but it was love so it was wonderful.
