Why was I in the wrong?

There are no "rules" about chopping.

Why would I chop a premium hand where I could make some money? why would I want to lose 1/2 BB on a crap hand if I don't have to?

In all of the time I've been playing live, I've never seen someone selectively chop. I've only even seen a handful of players who refused to chop, though they were consistent about it. You must be the biggest a**hole ever. Congratulations.

After the rake, and tip (I'm assuming you tip, but since it's not in the rules, and it's -EV, i guess you don't), the +EV of not chopping doesn't nearly come close to the +EV of not appearing like a douchebag to everyone else at the poker room you play at, having them hate you, and try harder to take your money.

Other than that, I think you're chopping strategy is brilliant.
