Okay, so let's say we agree that attacking a group of people is personally attacking each individual member (FTR, we don't agree, but for the sake of argument...). What is the usefulness of this fact?? You then have to time out people who say, "people suck" or "Europeans smell bad." Where are you drawing lines and is that arbitrary or based on common sense? I mean, on a board as big and diverse as this one, few members are going to be Stepford Wives. People make generalizations about all sorts of people.
