By antipositional, I mean that it does not pertain to what most understand to be positional chess.
The fact that you don't use a word correctly doesn't mean it's meaning changes.
Forgive me if I am incorrect, but I understood positional chess to be more of the queens gambit declined, while tactical chess something like the Ruy Lopez. In other words, positional chess would be in fact where White bides his times to attack and the fight for the center is a bit slower, while in tactical chess the fight begins almost immedietly.
I also understand these are somewhat simplistic and vague definitions. Regardless, I don't think what I stated was incorrect.
I wish people at my club played this kind of chess, my rating would be 300 points higher.
Perhaps your rating is 300 points lower than you like simply because the people you are playing are better than you.
