I think actually the issue here might be that you didn't realize that in this space, calling someone an "enlightened centrist" is a serious insult, akin to calling someone a motherfucker

"deeply unserious"

"If a communist calls you 'deeply unserious' it means they want to kill you." - some Twitter post I saw a while ago that lives in my head

But I do realise that. I was trying to say that people who say "both sides" are motherfuckers. Was even that unclear? If so, this really goes down as a massive failpost.

You said that insisting saying "both sides" makes you an enlightened centrist pisses you off. Johnny read that as saying it pisses you off that people assume anyone who says "both sides" is a motherfucker.
