Oh, boo hoo...are your feelings hurt?

It is a generalization, and by definition...it's correct

Wrong again, Professor. A generalization is an inference suggesting that a particular group, category or list is similar across the board. It is not, by definition, correct.

And, no, my feelings are not hurt. It would be rather shallow and weak to feel slighted by comments posted on an internet chat room. I was merely pointing out that your original comment was (and still is) a stupid generalization. I based my opinion on personal knowledge, not on an uninformed assumption.

And really, “Oh, boo hoo...are your feelings hurt?” Is that the most intelligent response you could muster?
