Exceptions to Generalization Trendy I think there is a very anti-intellectual fashion or trend on the planet earth. People wish to announce what an exception to generalizations.
I truly believe generalizations, norms and stereotypes, profiling and other ways keep me safe, I try to attune my instincts and critical thinking to identify norms.

Trolls and Flamers…. Hehehe
I was trying to get Andrew to first agree or not agree with generalizations about uses of internet pages.
I would say something like the majority of users use Internet Explorer browsers and this is priority users.
He would say something like, - Firefox is being used. -
Yes, of course, but really more of a trendy thing to say, and not pivotal or essential to the discussion, extra noise.
Finding exceptions to a generalization is trendy, what is up with this, annoying and problem making as there is no way I can live a day without a juicy generalization, stereotype or rationalization. (Adapted from movie The Big Chill)
