Yeah, when I call a group's behavior "idiotic", lots of people assume
I speak for that group. Good thing you cleared that up. Nice work.

Oh, I am quite familiar with your stance. It is what I was calling
"idiotic".
This is my last post on this thread. To summarize it briefly:
You tried to justify your stance by claiming that you are not just
being assholes ("mean", whatever), but rather that it is a legal
necessity. I believe that is false, so I asked, "Where did you get
this idea?" You gave no answer, which pretty much speaks for itself.
Cheers!
