my initial reaction to your cherry picking posts was: "Veiled sarcasm?!?!?LULZ"
Can't really tell, and that's what's enjoyable.

I refere to your posts also as cherry picking because in my language we have a saying about raisins and bun. You can't pick raisins from a bun without having a bun in the first place. And in verifiable and scientifically testable RL, some people pick the raisins from a bun not to eat them, because they don't like raisins in a bun and like to eat their bun without raisins. On the other hand, there are raisins also in the liver pudding, another classical treat, and nobody in their right mind could imagine picking raisins out of liver pudding and eating liver pudding without raisins it. And lingonberry jam on the side. It's one of those whole deal or no deal things in life, liver pudding.

So this seems to be the truest association chain why your posts were associated with cherry picking - to reveal that they were as incomprehensible as 'picking raisins from liver pudding'.
