Yes you are too much a nit if you don't defend more. What many people are beginning to understand is equity and the effect it has on your results. Many have been spoon fed ideas like; if a tight solid player raises in ep and I fold a hand like J8o in the bb I don't give up much.

However many have now started to put these hand ranges into pokerstove and discovered that when they play the hand they average to lose 0.3 bb while folding loses them 0.5. Oooops here's 0.2bb that I just threw away. Then they ask themselves questions like, how many times am I doing mistakes like this per 100 hands?.

You can find a nice chart in stox book at the quiz section on page 309 I think. What you should note though is that these ranges that are given are based upon a preflop hand range and a hot cold simulation. It says nothing about how the difference in players post flop abilities affect your results.

The worse your opponents play the more you will lose by being a nit.
