Irony. You're seeing it where none exists. And you're making an argument out of your own misunderstanding.
In response to now "getting" how Polearm Cheese works, after reading your and Draco's responses, AND that thread, I reply, "wow, cheesy."
Not the same as "knee-jerk 'nerf!'" At all. Where's the ironic part? Never once did I say it was overpowered, should be nerfed, or broken. You are putting words in my mouth, as I've seen you do countless times to others before. You don't even understand what my opinion truly is, let alone be able to suggest that I'd rather just "simplify things and have an opinion" without "considering the complexities."
Polearm Cheese. It's a good trick, when it works, but being not a moron, I can think of a dozen ways around it, even before you oh-so-helpfully suggested some for me.
