Hi: Agreed here. Let us all please refrain from categorical statements based on one's personal likes or dislikes. It is okay to make a statement, but it is important to explain why a person feels that way and to stress that is your own opinion and not necessarily holds true for everyone else.
The problem with categorical statements is it assumes that everyone or the majority of people agree with you on a specific subject, and that frankly may not be the case. It also assumes that your opinion, biases, whatever the case might be are absolutely right and everyone else's opinions are of no value. On a mailing list such as this we can not possibly get your tone, facial expression, and all we have to go on is the written words and categorical statements sound especially arrogant when not tied with someone's facial expressions and tone of voice. So let us try and not make blanket categorical statements and realize everyone has an opinion and that it is worth respecting even if we disagree with it. Cheers!
