It's beautifully ironic that you're using a sweeping stereotype about me 'putting people in boxes' to... well, put me in a box. It seems your high-minded argument against generalizations is itself a generalization. How delightfully meta.

No, it isn’t. If a statement would have said “you belong to a group of people that put people into boxes” it would have been a generalization. But if anyone calls you an idiot, it is simply stating a fact or observation; namely that you are an idiot. Nice try but no carrot.
