The reality is that the broad accusations only fit a specific few, therefore
they are not realistic in a general sense. When an individual's perception of
reality is askew of norms, probabilities, demonstrated data, etc in my
*opinion* it's better to point it out than allow false assumptions to persist.
Especially when people are unfairly characterized.

I have not once denied a single person the right to hold ANY opinion. I was
pointing out an opinion that was formed on flawed assumptions.
Opinions are great. Facts tend to trump them though.
Let me know when you're done picking me apart, so we can get back to something
more useful.
