That's literally it. Not everyone derives pleasure from the same things, and some of the things people enjoy can be very niche and seem like mental health issues to those who don't share them. It doesn't qualify as insanity by default, but some pleasures can easily become toxic behaviors if they result in harm to yourself or others. Being just plain contrary about some things is pretty clearly something some (many?) people enjoy at least some of the time, but carried too far it can certainly be toxic - and where different people draw the line at "too far" is wildly subjective.Yeah, I got nothing. There is a thing where people derive pleasure from pain...so maybe it's like that? Like the people who show up to meetings just to argue and complain, or love eating extremely spicy food, or running marathons, or certain um, bedtime activities.
The fact that people are different is why (often oxymoronic) concepts like common courtesy, basic civility, and acceptable behavior exist, and they're still far from a perfect consensus. Unfortunately they also break down a lot, especially outside of face-to-face communications - which helps make the internet as awful as it is wonderous.
There's also a load of psychological and sociological baggage associated with winning arguments - or more accurately refusing to concede them - but that's a different kettle if fish for the most part.
