That's pretty much pure denial. You are very sentimental, just not in the fuzzy way, for the thought of being a coldly "rational" man ironically enough thrills you. Your sentimental attachment to cruel "rationality" is what emotively drives you, whether you choose to acknowledge your odd sentiments or not.

Given the converse error you made with regard to dictatorships and your perpetual tendency to ignore the outright contradictions in your positions, I tend to doubt that you really are "hard-headed".
Just like you, I occassionally make errors.
I am a professional mathematician and I very rarely make logical errors when I do math.
I have forgotten more math and physics than you ever knew in your entire lifetime.
I am fact oriented, I do not believe in supernatural crap and I have little or no compassion for strangers
But my manners are far above reproach.
It is better to be polite than kind.
