Although katekite and I argued for consistency here, I don't think this is where either of us wanted it to go. I was hoping that PBCs could be issued on the grounds that were full of hate and venom toward those of us who don't agree! I was hoping that an uncivil tone would be enough.
I want to be able to say, "Relax! Have a beer!" without being told I was overgeneralizing, since many people can't drink beer with their meds. I want to be able to say, "Broccoli is sooooo good for you," without worrying that someone will cite me for overgeneralizing, since folks on antiflatulence diets, low-fiber diets, or sucrose-free diets can't have broccoli.
havin' a beer-dy
