Are you familliar with what that phrase means?

In this context it would mean that I actually agree with you and feel forced to disagree in order to insult you.

I don't agree with you at all, not even a little. This meakes it easy for me to insult you while making a point that leaves my nose right where it's always been on the front of my face.

You can't just randomly select an idiomatic phrase and cross your fingers, hoping like hell it means what you want it to mean. You need to try to pick phrases that actually do mean what you want them to mean. That's what writing is all about. But like the fox and the grapes, you insist on robbing Peter to pay Paul.
