I know you have to draw the line 'somewhere'...and I do admit that the information on culture-stereotyping was good and important. But, my post made fun of people who use 'exercise machines'...and what about Californians? I know...you have to keep it in perspective.
I just thought maybe something different than a 'PBC' should be directed at us in these cases. That's a pretty heavy thing to toss at Larry, who was doing in, I believe, as innocent fashioned as the rest of us where, trying to lift our spirits. Maybe there should be something less harsh posted in these cases. Maybe like a "please be careful" or something like that? This is not just in this case, but ones that come up once in awhile where-by people are maybe much more incognizant in their intent.
Kinda like getting a parking ticket compared to being charged with some nasty criminal offense. I think that sounds fair, no?
Thanks for listening,
Jay
